“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)
