The Recycling Partnership
Description
The Recycling Partnership is a purpose-driven organization committed to building a better recycling system, one that delivers the economic and environmental benefits our communities and the hundreds of thousands of people who work throughout the recycling industry deserve. The Recycling Partnership’s team of experts, practitioners, and thought leaders with real-world experience works with its partners to create meaningful change across the recycling system and assist communities, companies, and policymakers in enacting such change. The Recycling Partnership uses its one-of-its-kind National Recycling Database that reaches more than 9,000 U.S. recycling programs and develops practical and innovative resources to address critical gaps in the recycling system.

Now in its 10th year, The Recycling Partnership has supported more than 3,500 community recycling programs nationwide with free resident education and engagement resources, provided 1.74 million recycling carts through community grantmaking, and supported the capture of more than 1 billion pounds of new recyclables – avoiding over 1 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
