McLean County, IL Nearing Goal of 50% Recycling Rate

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): McLean County’s recycling efforts have steadily increased despite the global pandemic and the increased presence of single-use, non-recyclable plastics and packaging. The Ecology Action Center reported that municipal solid waste recycling rates for 2022 were at a five-year high for McLean County at 46.85%. The first landmark of the county’s 20-year goal, drafted in 2017, is 50%.

“Although this goal has yet to be met,” the release read, “McLean County is well ahead of the 32.1% national recycling average.” EAC Executive Director Michael Brown attributed this trend to residents being wiser about recycling as well as the area’s corporations taking significant measures to recycle.  “Rivian’s efforts, obviously, everything that they’re doing. They’re a big player in everything (recycling) in our community at this point,” Brown said.

He credited Bridgestone, as well, as being a driving force in using less landfill space. “Bridgestone has a goal to be 90% diversion from the landfill by the end of 2023,” Brown said. “Efforts like these really are impressive and do help our community as we try to recycle more.”
