Teton Valley Community Recycling started 2012 with a NEW executive director, a NEW board member, and a NEW strategic plan. Get ready for exciting NEW projects in the near future!

Why so much change? After years of advocating for financially sound recycling for Teton Valley, we are finally on our way. A generous grant from the Teton Springs Foundation helped fund a baler for the transfer station, enabling them to recycle cardboard, alumimum, tin and more. They are currently working hard to add even more items to the list of recyclables. For those who don't want to take recyclables to the transfer station themselves, RAD recycling, a private business, offers curbside pickup in the Valley. With all of these positive changes, it was time to re-evaluate our role in the community.

In 2012, TVCR will:

1. Continue to advocate for increased recycling of waste materials in Teton Valley.

2. Work to improve diversion of non-recyclable waste from the landfill.

3. Work to improve the convenience of recycling in Teton Valley.

4. Increase outreach and education about waste reduction and diversion in Teton Valley.

5. Launch campaigns that focus on reducing waste at the source.

TVCR is extraordinarily grateful to all those that have and continue to support our mission in the Valley. We hope you will join us with some of our NEW initiatives and events!
