Paper cup recycling will now be available to 1 million Chicago-area residents through Rosemont-based waste management company LRS,
"As an early pioneer of the circular or closed-loop operating model, we are thrilled to be a part of this initiative to expand curbside recycling in the Midwest," Mark Molitor, director of MRF operations at LRS, said in a statement."The ability to add paper cups to our list of acceptable materials is in line with our goals of diverting and repurposing discarded materials, and we look forward to continuing our collaborative recycling efforts in the Chicagoland area.
"This opportunity to expand recycling to include paper cups helps Chicago minimize landfilling, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and moves us closer to achieving our goal of increasing recycling rates," Chris Sauve, deputy commissioner policy and sustainability for the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation, said in a statement.
