Update - We are essential!
We have as many cars coming through the recycle center as we always have. I’m so grateful to all the people that want to do the right thing and recycle, even under these circumstances. It’s so crazy what the world is going through right now! We at Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful continue to fulfill our mission; To improve the environment through education, public awareness and community involvement. We do this everyday, every time we pick up the phone, and every time we greet you in the line. We are here for all of you and will continue to service our community.
