Jennifer Beals, star of (Flashdance, The L Word and) a new show called The Chicago Code, wants the real life city of Chicago to start recycling. CLARIFICATION THANKS TO COMMENTER BELOW: CHICAGO RECYCLES, BEALS’ COMMENT IS ABOUT THE ART INSTITUTE IN PARTICULAR, WHICH SHE THINKS SHOULD LET HER BRING HER OWN WATER BOTTLE.
And, for no trash-related reason, the best dance scene from Flashdance (if you think it’s the flying somersault, you are wrong)!

Jennifer Beals, I don’t know where you got your information, but Chicago has had a recycling program for several years now. I can’t speak for individual businesses or museums, such as the Art Institute, but there is definitely a recycling program in place in the neighborhoods. Check out this website: http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/streets/provdrs/san/svcs/recycling.html

There is a really cool new recycling service for apartments. This company picks up the recyclables at each residents door.
Valet Trash Pickup –is a doorstep garbage, waste, recycling, trash pick up service for multifamily properties like apartments, condos and senior living communities.
