I wish we did, but I live in a 6-unit building, so the city won't pick up recycling. We might be able to find a private company that offers it, but the rest of the neighbors aren't very interested; Instead we just save our recyclables until we have enough to warrant a trip to the recycling center on Ravenswood.
My building recycles metal, but that's it (though I understand our rental company is working towards offering other options). Like the previous commenter, we just save ours up and haul it to one of the city's (always-overflowing) recycling centers.
I'm hoping with the new city leadership taking over soon there will be some improvements in recycling, but I'm not holding my breath.
Areja, in my 12-unit condo building we use Groot. When we began recycling, our trash got cut in half and now we save over $500 a year. Tell your neighbors that.
We have an 8 unit building and use Waste Management. They offer recycling. Our recycling trash can is always more full than the regular trash dumpster.
