Our reuse/recycle program has been such a hit that we are interested in opening this up to Chicagoland schools and churches looking to fundraise!
If your school or church is interested in getting green with us, let’s do it! Gather vases from your parish, supporters or community and we’ll donate $3 for every 5 usable containers to your very own great cause! We’ll support you with marketing via our web site, email campaigns and newsletter and with your help spreading the word, we’ll ‘get green’ together! Simply email Bridget Carlson at bridget@ashaddflorist.com and get listed as a friend of the Ashland Addison Florist “Reuse/Recycle and Get Green” program!

It's Working!
So, we thought we'd reach out and try something green this summer and invited Chicagoland to take part in our “Reuse/Recycle and Get Green"program. Simply, it's our invitation to our customers to bring in their old vases and containers in exchange for green plants and “green” cash donations to charities.
This program has already received HUGE response! Hundreds of vases have come through our doors, and we’re carefully selecting the containers that meet our quality standards to go back into consumers hands. Also, we’re ensuring that the unusable pieces are being recycled. Our staff has already made several trips to our local recycling facility down the street from our Fulton location! We’ll ensure that even if your old containers are not reusable that they are recycled!
Keep it up!
It’s so easy! Simply bring your glass, ceramic and wicker containers to any Ashland Addison Florist location. For every five reusable containers brought in at one time, customers will receive a green plant and will have a $3.00 donation made on their behalf to one of the following charities.
*Misericordia Heart of Mercy www.misericordia.org
*Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation http://www.lynnsage.org/
*Children’s Memorial Hospital

*Rush University Medical Center www.rushcampaign.org
