A Community Solid Waste Program 407
Starting a community resource recovery center
A resource recovery center is a place where reusable and
recyclable materials are collected for sale or reuse.
It can also be a place to start a community composting
project and market garden, make new products from
old materials, and exchange goods such as clothing,
curtains, appliances, furniture, shoes, glass bottles,
pots, utensils, building materials, and so forth.
Some of this trash
is useful... but I
don’t know who
could use it!
People working together make a community a beautiful place to live.
