More About MassRecycle
MassRecycle, founded in 1989, was organized in response to a need for statewide advocacy to establish recycling programs. Its founders and early members recognized that widespread recycling would help to conserve natural resources, energy, landfill space and open space. More recently, recycling has been recognized as an essential component of any comprehensive strategy to reduce greenhouse emissions. The economic benefits of recycling have become evident by the over 19,000 recycling jobs and the estimated $600 million that recycling contributes to the Massachusetts economy.
