Where to Recycle Materials

We’re in the process of rolling out Recycle Coach, an online tool and app to help residents in every community in our county quickly find which items can be recycled in their area, and the process for doing so. The goal is to capture more recyclable materials with less contamination. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) is covering the cost of using this tool for all local governments in our state (read their press release). CCES is leading the effort to verify recycling information for all Champaign County communities, upload that information into this online tool, and maintain it moving forward. It’s a big job, and it’s not yet completed! A formal announcement of the tool’s availability and the app will be released when we’ve got all the basic information  input. In the meantime, you can still consult the City of Champaign, City of Urbana, and U of I campus recycling information, and if you have questions, contact us.
