    Hello from Illinois.

    Hi my name is Cole. Im from Illinois about 60 minutes south of Chicago. Im pretty new to scraping and recycling. My wife is sceptical about it and actually making money from it. But after a few loads shes coming around to it haha.

    In the summer I use the river valley recycling on Hobby Ave when they are open. When the are closed for winter I use Belsons on Rt 50. The pay is within pennys of each other.
