Town Amends Rule for C&D Recycling Centers

The village trustees of Skokie, Ill., have approved an amendment to the zoning code that now permits construction and demolition debris recycling centers to operate in the village, according to a report in the Skokie Review (Skokie, Ill.).

An applicant requested the zoning change to allow for a construction materials recycling center on a site that was within 500 feet of an arterial street and close to a high school, according to the report. Under the old zoning regulations, the facility could not be permitted at that location.
