The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Springfield, Illinois, set up an online guide to answer consumers’ questions about recycling, according to a news release from WGN-TV (Chicago).
The Illinois EPA released the Recycle Illinois webpage and guide this month as part of America Recycles Day. The website answers curbside recycling questions and identifies appropriate places to take recyclables that cannot be collected in most curbside recycling programs in Illinois.
Alec Messina, director of the Illinois EPA, told WGN-TV that the online tool is meant to help residents recycle properly. He adds that proper recycling procedures are more important today because China banned the import of recyclables that have more than 0.5 percent contamination rate this past year.
