About the Program

I-Cycle: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse

The CMS I-CYCLE program has been very successful in increasing the amount of material the state recycles and promoting the use of recycled products. The I-CYCLE program is a self-funded recycling program administered by the Property Management division of CMS to recover and sell recyclable materials from state agencies and encourage the market development of recovered materials.

Created by the Solid Waste Management Act of 1986, the State of Illinois' I-CYCLE Program facilitates the recycling efforts of more than 225 state locations and 40,400 state employees. Annually, more than 2,200 tons of white and mixed paper, cardboard, aluminum and other metals, industrial chemicals and kitchen grease are diverted from the waste stream through the program's activities.

What's Recycled?

Through the I-CYCLE program, the state currently recycles: paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, old telephone directories, scrap metal fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, laser printer cartridges, VCR Tapes, Data Tapes and silver bearing materials. I-Cycle is piloting in various locations plastic recycling.

If your office does not recycle a item please see where it can be dropped off at Earth 911's.

Procurement & Recycled Materials

Forty-one percent of all paper and paper products purchased by CMS for the state contained recycled materials. CMS purchases other items containing recycled materials such as laser printer cartridges, pencils, recycling bins, and steel wastebaskets.
