The recycling nonprofit Northeast Resource Recovery Association (NRRA) will be holding its annual Recycling Conference & Expo on Monday, May 16 and Tuesday, May 17, 2022. For over forty years, NRRA’s Recycling Conference & Expo has been a premier conference focused exclusively on municipal recycling and waste reduction in the Northeast. This year’s theme, “What’s Next: Rethinking Resource Recovery” emphasizes the need for communities to rethink the future of solid waste and waste reduction and reset following the pandemic and China’s National Sword policy.
Meet our 2022 sponsors!
NRRA's recycling conference & Expo is successful because of the dedication, commitment and generosity of the businesses and organizations that participate as sponsors and exhibitors.
