For over 30 years,
the Resource Center, a non-profit environmental education organization,
has led the way in demonstrating innovative techniques for recycling and
reusing materials. Too often in the urban setting, abundant and
important resources are wasted. Our recovery work aims to reverse waste
and to improve the quality of life for urban dwellers. We have
been devoted from the beginning to the economic and educational
revitalization of city neighborhoods through recycling, urban gardening
and other programs that reclaim and reuse resources.
As our efforts have expanded in scope,
they have also grown in scale. The original curbside-collection
recycling programs are still a central part of our work, but they
have been joined by a number of programs which are currently a part
of our family of satellite ventures.
