Anthony Tindall: Sustainable Recycling
Green Sense Radio

When you want to get rid of old computers, furniture, home entertainment devices, mobile electronics, and other items, there is now a permanent recycling drop-off facility in Chicagoland. Anthony Tindall manages the Cook County Department of Environment and Sustainability's Solid Waste Division and talks about the new partnership with South Suburban College and the creation of the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM). The center will repurpose, reuse, or recycle the items instead of putting them in a landfill. He also talks about what items can not be recycled.
