A hazardous waste collection center is planned at South Suburban College in South Holland, adjacent to an existing recycling center. Cook County and South Suburban College have announced a $4.6 million partnership to open a hazardous waste collection site at the South Holland school.
A hazardous waste collection center is planned at South Suburban College in South Holland, adjacent to an existing recycling center. “Cook County is excited to expand our partnership with South Suburban College to ensure that residents in the Southland have access to a facility that will allow them to safely dispose of hazardous materials,” Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said in a news release.
The hazardous waste collection point was announced by the county and college officials on Earth Day this past Monday. The Center for Hard to Recycle Materials is meant to divert from landfills those items that don’t fit the typical parameters of household recycling programs, and its location is meant to recognize that curbside recycling isn’t universal in the south suburbs.
