Stickney Water Reclamation Plant — Local services in Stickney Township

We had a lovely tour of this place some time ago, and I would do it again. But they offer more than just cleaning your feces out of the water.

One possibly little-known service at this and other Water Rec facilities is FREE TREES on Wednesdays, supporting something called its "Restore the Canopy (RTC) plant a tree program."

This location also offers free piles of compost during the warm season.

And finally, these guys have a place where you can drop off unused meds, which is always a Good Thing.

I'm sure you can find info on all of these at MWRD's...

Used to pass through Stickney on I-55 going down south on vacation during the summer and from about Pulaski Rd. past Harlem Ave. you can't have your windows down the smell is so strong. Hey it's the business though, they're cleaning the water to keep Chicagoland from dying of disease. Just DON'T EAT THE FISH OUT THE CHICAGO SANITARY AND SHIP...

Water smells like chlorine and I live near Vittum Park and days like today we can't be outside because it smells like a sewer. They keep saying to call and report but they don't do anything!! When we moved we didn't have that smell!! I bought a home not a sewer to live in!!...
