Unfortunately we cannot accept any items with tape on them. We suggest recycling the items or throwing them away.
The needs of our customers change. We also have limited space so if an item is not needed on a consistent basis, we will remove it from our list.
If dropping off at a drop-off point, staple your paper bag, or seal the poly bag. If dropping off at a collection event or our storage unit, keep the packing peanuts in a garbage bag or box until we transfer them into our own containers.

2 paper grocery bags of materials are accepted per person.
Nope! Paper bags only please! If you don’t have paper bags, you can transfer your items directly into a bin at the location.
The collection point is either full and unable to take anymore donations, or EcoShip is on a pause. Check our calendar and social media account for more information!
EcoShip now offers a year-long collection program for businesses, schools, and apartment/condo complexes. Email us for pricing.

If you have a bulk drop off or your local collection point is full and cannot accept your donation, you can drop it off at our new headquarters in West Town, located at 1947 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622. If you have a carload of materials, please schedule a drop-off so that our staff can be prepared. Smaller drop-offs will be accepted on a walk-in basis during our business hours.
Yes! Every small and large amount is accepted.
Boxes (gently used and brand new) are only accepted at our headquarters. We will not accept them at collection events or collection sites due to space restrictions.
