Southside Recycling, located on Reserve Management Group’s 175-acre campus on Chicago’s Southeast Side, stands ready to operate the most advanced metal shredding facility in the United States. Built at a cost of more than $80 million, Southside continues to pursue all avenues to secure its final City of Chicago permit. Once operational, Southside Recycling will demonstrate how responsible industrial innovation and environmental protection can coexist, setting a new benchmark for sustainable urban recycling.
Unparalleled Pollution Control Equipment
Southside Recycling is setting a new standard in pollution control technology within the Midwest. The facility features state-of-the-art equipment that surpasses the emissions control chain found at any other shredding facility in the region. This advanced system ensures operations will be both efficient and environmentally friendly, minimizing the impact on the surrounding community and the environment.
A Vital Part of Keeping Chicago Beautiful
Designed to manage end-of-life goods through an environmentally responsible process, Southside Recycling will transform discarded metals into a reusable resource for the manufacture of new products. Without essential recycling services like this, unwanted goods would end up littering streets and alleys, creating unsightly and hazardous conditions throughout the city. Once operational, Southside Recycling’s sustainable solutions will help keep Chicago clean and beautiful.
A Key Player in Chicago’s Environmental Mission
Recycling metals conserves energy and natural resources. By recycling obsolete goods, Southside Recycling will prevent them from being buried in landfills and instead unlock their value as reusable assets. Utilizing recycled metal in manufacturing processes significantly reduces the need for energy-intensive mining of iron ore and other minerals. The facility features best-in-class downstream separation equipment, ensuring industry-best metal recovery and contributing to a more sustainable future for Chicago and beyond.
