The Southeast Recycling Development Council has a direct mission: to unite industry, government and non-government organizations to promote sustainable recycling in the Southeast.
How do we do that? Direct action to boost recovery. Workshops to educate recycling officials. Outreach to communicate with elected officials. Research and reporting to gauge the current recycling market. Our members understand that the work we do helps to increase support for the industry.
