Conveniently located west of O’Hare, the Itasca facility is proud to be one of the leading recycling operations in Illinois.

We divert thousands of tons of material away from landfills each month, and our mission is simple–to safely and responsibly recycle material for our partners while helping reduce their overall costs.

Our core business focuses on paper-based products, but we are happy to assist with metals, pallets, plastics, and offer recycling services for many other materials.

Our private trucking fleet completes service requests in 24 to 48 hours. We welcome the opportunity to serve our neighbors in the greater Chicagoland area.
