The Burke Group Hosts Community Recycle And Donation Event

Continuing their efforts to promote environmental responsibility and sustainability, The
Burke Group (TBG) is hosting a community recycle and donation event on Saturday,
October 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Burke Group office: 9575 W. Higgins
Rd., Rosemont, IL 60018.

“This event is a great opportunity to donate to those in
need or just de-clutter,” said Christopher B. Burke, PhD, PE, D.WRE,
Dist.M.ASCE, president of The Burke Group. “At TBG, we are constantly looking
forward to determine how we can continue reducing our impact on our
environment, promoting sustainability in our office and making a difference in
the world around us. This recycling event can give a new life to items that we
may have otherwise just thrown in the garbage, where they would sit in a
landfill.”

TBG is partnering with the Village of Rosemont, US BANK, and
McShane Construction to host this event that allows area residents and
employees to get rid of unwanted items in a responsible, environmentally-friendly
way. Reliable recycling and community-based donation services are being
