Join as us we mark an important day for our region with the release of the 2021 City of Chicago Waste Strategy.

The City of Chicago has an exciting opportunity to implement strategies to tackle the issues of waste and materials management that impact its economy, environment, and citizens every day. The strategies that were prepared by Delta Institute provide feasible and actionable recommendations to reduce waste; increase diversion through reuse, recycling, and composting; reduce costs; and increase economic and environmental justice opportunities.

Over the past year Delta has worked with more than 90 different City representatives and stakeholders, encompassing numerous municipal departments, fellow nonprofits, universities, community groups, and individuals. We are grateful to them for their insights, keen understanding, and feedback.
