Willis Tower - Tenant Compost Program
|
|
|
|
It is estimated that between 30-35% of our waste is discarded food, according to the US EPA.
Did you know you support our local economy while participating in our food scrap recycling pilot? Our composting partners receive 300,000 tons of food and yard waste. This material produces an output of 175,000 tons of compost which help act as a soil amendment for local farms and gardens throughout the Chicagoland area. The material is produced locally and distributed locally while diverting from landfills!
In partnership with Republic Services, Willis Tower is happy to announce a building-wide compost program open to both office and retail tenants.
Getting involved is simple and at very little cost to you!
Interested? Please reach out to Assistant Property Manager:
Megan Andrews
You may also inquire with the Office of the Building at (312)-875-0066.

Willis Tower - New ABC 7 Antenna
|
On Sunday, September 24, ABC 7 installed a new antenna on our rooftop. This equipment allows them to broadcast WLS-TV across Chicago and beyond. At more than 40 feet tall and several hundred pounds, it’s much too big for the elevators.
A sky crane helicopter was used to lift it into position almost 1,700 feet above the ground at the top of the east mast. Watch our excellent tower crew in action!
