We are thrilled that Rheaply has launched it's Chicago Reuse Marketplace -- an online platform for businesses with surplus equipment to sell, rent or give away. Check it out



Compost!

We are relieved that the City of Chicago finally launched its first-ever citywide Food Scrap Drop-Off Program, and Chicago residents can drop off their household food scraps for composting at one of 15 locations.   The best part -- they will take meat, dairy, cooked foods, bread & grains!   All the stuff you can't compost at home.  So you now have a way to dispose of all your food waste so it can be returned to fertilize the soil -- and not produce greenhouse gases in the landfill.  Read about it here
