Take our Recycling Survey!
Everyone knows the 46th Ward is participating in two recycling pilots; the S&S Blue Cart Program and the Chicago Multi-Unit Recycling Project.   Both pilots are providing information to the City supporting the transition away from Blue Bag recycling and promoting single-stream recycling.  The recycling rate in the 46th Ward is about 21% which is higher than the City-wide average of about 18%.

The Multi-Unit Recycling Project has developed an online survey to collect information on residents' recycling practices.  It will only take a few minutes to complete the survey and help us understand your recycling practices at home.  Thanks for your cooperation!
