Transfer Station Expansion Project

If you have ever lived in a big city, taking out the trash is a pretty simple task: Bag it up, walk it to the curbside bin, and toss it in. If you are lucky, you never thought much more about it. If you live in Cook County, you likely think about trash in a much different way. Maybe you compost your organics in the backyard. You probably haul your recycling in and sort out the contents into the many large boxes at the recycling center. You’ve also likely taken your trash to the local dump site. If you thought that was a complicated journey to deal with your waste, think again. For your trash, the journey has just begun. The two owners of the only waste hauler in Cook County, North Shore Waste, think about this journey all day, every day. Without them, our lives would literally be a mess.
