The Green Scene: How One Condo Building Recycles

By Micah Maidenberg, Editor, Chicago Journal

Interest in Dearborn Tower's recycling program is growing. Gail Merritt, one of the co-founders of the Alliance for a Greener South Loop, said Dearborn Tower's recycling center is one of the South Loop's best examples of how residents of a multi-unit building can recycle.

"Dearborn Tower is our role model for recycling," Merritt said.

Mike Kelly, a resident of Dearborn Tower and founder, with Merritt, of AGSL, said he has given several tours of the facility and is speaking about the recycling program to other condo associations, including a group of Printer's Row associations in March. Kelly said he has not encountered a condo that is recycling as extensively as Dearborn Towers.
