Recycling

Recycling is a great way to donate to Pilsen Food Pantry and help take care of our planet. Community members can drop off cans any day.

If you have questions about donating, please reach out to donations@pilsenfoodpantry.com.

Only about 10% of materials placed in Chicago’s recycling bins are appropriate for recycling so millions of pounds of good quality materials end up in landfills. To do our part, the Pilsen Food Pantry collects crushed aluminum cans.

Our metal recycling is sold to a local shredder once a month to support or general operations.
