Our Mission
EcoShip collects your gently used shipping materials and gives them to individuals and businesses to reuse.
EcoShip Chicago is a community based non-profit aimed at combating waste and promoting sustainable business practices. We want to connect local communities and businesses in a way that is not only beneficial for all, but also healthy for our planet.
Collection
Gently used shipping materials are collected at our headquarters which are located in the Avondale neighborhood of Chicago at 3248 N Pulaski Rd, Chicago, IL 60641. More information regarding drop-offs can be found HERE.
Sorting
After the shipping materials are collected, they are sorted by type. With the help of volunteers, any unusable materials are weeded out and responsibly disposed of. Volunteer events are an excellent way to get involved with EcoShip. Whether you are a donor who wants to contribute a little more, or a business that would like first dibs on materials, the help is appreciated. To become a regular volunteer, CLICK HERE.
Distribution
All gently used shipping materials are available for purchase. To purchase materials, stop by our headquarters during business hours to shop around.
