Georgia Recycling Coalition – Promoting waste reduction and recycling programs throughout the state of Georgia

Welcome

The Georgia Recycling Coalition’s mission is to complement and coordinate activities relative to recycling, to foster communications among professionals, organizations, government agencies and individuals, and to promote and enhance waste reduction and recycling programs throughout the state of Georgia.

Join GRC as we wrap up Earth Month on Thursday, April 30 for a two-part experience that turns awareness into action. Start with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Keep North Fulton Beautiful Recycling Center from 2:00–4:00 PM and hear directly from recycling market experts to learn what happens tothe recyclables. Then, keep the momentum going down the street at Pontoon Brewing from 4:30–6:30 PM for the GRC Earth Month Exchange—a relaxed gathering to reflect on Earth Month wins, connect with peers, and brainstorm how we continue to drive progress. Join us for one or stay for both and help turn Earth Month energy into year-round impact.

Tour space is limited; registration required. Learn more and RSVP today.
