Chicago Recycling Coalition
Consistently and effectively promoting responsible source-separated recycling and composting for Chicago’s residents, businesses, and schools.
The Recyclery, a non-profit (501c3) collective, seeks to build community through the restoration of donated and discarded bicycles. With these bikes we offer a sustainable form of transportation at little to no cost. We wish to further open ourselves and our resources to the community at large with programs that teach bicycle maintenance, safety, and environmental awareness.

Food Not Bombs Chapters in Illinois Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements and is gaining momentum throughout the world. There are hundreds of autonomous chapters sharing free vegetarian food with hungry people and protesting war and poverty. Food Not Bombs is not a charity.

Food Not Bombs is organizing for peace and an end to the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. For over 25 years the movement has worked to end hunger and has supported actions to stop the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people, end exploitation and the destruction of the earth.

Chicago Freecycle Network The goal of the Chicago Freecycle Network is to reduce waste by connecting individuals who are throwing away goods with others who are seeking them. Whether you’re looking to discard or acquire an item, Chicago Freecycle is the place to do it. Furniture, clothing, appliances, computers, and all the little things in between. The only rule is that all items must be FREE.
