The Burke Group Hosts Community Recycle and Donation Event

Rosemont, Ill. (Sept. 20, 2018) – Continuing their efforts to promote environmental responsibility and sustainability, The Burke Group (TBG) is hosting its fourth annual community recycle and donation event on Friday, September 28, 2018 from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the TBG office parking lot: 9575 W. Higgins Rd., Rosemont, IL 60018.

TBG is partnering with the Village of Rosemont 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 generously provided by Abt Electronics and the Salvation Army. See below for a list of accepted items.

“This event makes it easy to give a new life to items that might otherwise have been thrown away,” said Christopher B. Burke, PhD, President of The Burke Group. “At TBG, we’re proud to have a company-wide focus on sustainability and reducing our impact on the environment.”

This is the fourth year in a row that TBG has hosted the recycling event. Last year, the event collected 67 cubic yards of donated and recycled materials, including computer monitors, books, toys, white Styrofoam, clothes, batteries and more.

TBG has a long history of environmental responsibility, as evidenced by its award-winning Bike to Work program, which has reduced about 730,000 lbs. of CO2 emissions from riding 375,000 miles since the program began in 2006. TBG also provides car charging stations for electric vehicles, has modified its building structure to reduce energy waste, instituted a composting program and planted a parking lot garden for all employees to enjoy.
