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.
