Today, January 31st is the last day to submit your nomination for a coveted CRA award!  Each year, the Carolina Recycling Association honors top performers that advance waste reduction and recycling in the Carolinas.  Award recipients will be honored at the 27th Annual Conference.  A panel of judges will select outstanding individuals, projects, and/or programs to recognize with our 27th Annual Awards.  The CRA will accept nominations that address all aspects of the industry as before, but we are focusing on recognizing the new and innovative projects that are improving the way recycling happens in the Carolinas.  The awards are open to companies, individuals, governments, schools, organizations, non-profits, and councils.  Projects and programs large and small are eligible.  You are encouraged to nominate yourself or your program, or to nominate anyone you think is deserving!
