The Chicago Department of Public Health's environmental team is dedicated to protecting residents from exposure to hazardous materials and toxic pollutants. They collect household wastes like computers, chemicals, compact fluorescent light bulbs, latex paint, and pharmaceuticals at the Household Chemical and Computer Recycling Facility.
In addition to waste collection, the department creates guidelines for demolition and renovation projects, works with state and federal agencies to identify contaminated sites, responds to hazardous waste incidents, and monitors major events for environmental threats to ensure a healthier and safer city for all Chicagoans.
