November 15 is #AmericaRecyclesDay. We celebrated by announcing the Biden Administration's $2 million investment in our #ChicagoMetroREO campaign through a US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Recycling Education and Outreach grant. The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus is leading this highly collaborative project with DuPage County Kane County, Illinois Will County - Green McHenry County Solid Waste Agency of Lake County, Illinois and Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County with support from ILCSWMA - Illinois Counties Solid Waste Management Association and Illinois Recycling Foundation to "get residents excited about recycling" and to improve recycling participation across our region. LRS hosted our event at their Stockyards facility. See some cool footage of the event and their impressive municipal recycling facility in the news story from Fox32 Chicago linked on our page https://lnkd.in/gCuXJuRP
