Millions of pounds of textiles are sent to landfills every year. If your company is looking for a more environmentally-friendly solution to eliminating unwanted or outdated company textiles, Chicago Textile Recycling can help you. Here are a few of the specifics on what we can offer.

How Do I Transport My Items?

Whether you drop off, ship or have your items picked up, Chicago Textile Recycling has you covered. You can choose to drop off your items for destruction for free, ship them to our Hillside facility or we can pick them up for you for a flat fee.

“The fee will be quoted by a Chicago Textile Recycling staff member and is reflective of anticipated volume, location, logistics and processing requirements.”

Certificate of Recycling

Once we have fulfilled your destruction services need, we are able to supply your company with a “Certificate of Recycling.” This document shows the poundage of textiles diverted from the landfill. 

“The U.S. EPA estimates that textile waste occupies nearly 5% of all landfill space. While the EPA estimates that the textile recycling industry recycles approximately 3.8 billion pounds of post-consumer textile waste (PCTW) each year, this only accounts for approximately 15% of all PCTW, leaving 85% in our landfills.” (Read more here)

Your company can feel good about helping the environment by diverting textiles away from landfills. You can also rest assured that your uniforms won’t fall into the wrong hands once our services are rendered.
