For 35 years, the Resource Center, a non-profit environmental education organization, has led the way in demonstrating innovative techniques for recycling and reusing materials.

Too often in the urban setting, abundant and important resources are wasted. In our recovery work we aim to reverse waste and to improve the quality of life for urban dwellers. We have been devoted from the beginning to the economic and educational revitalization of city neighborhoods through recycling, urban gardening, composting, and other programs that reclaim and reuse resources.

Give the Gift that Grows All Year Long

The kale, chard, mache, and spinach all tucked in and ready for winter. But our recycling collection crews and perishable food recovery programs are still chugging along. We operate year round providing valuable services to Chicago residents and the community at large. A gift to the Resource Center is a gift to the community. A gift to the Resource Center supports all of resource recovery programs including public recycling drop-off sites and perishable food recovery.
