About Georgia Recycling Coalition

The Georgia Recycling Coalition, Inc. (GRC) is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to complement and coordinate activities relative to recycling, to foster communication amongst professionals, organizations, government agencies and individuals and to promote and enhance reduction and recycling programs throughout the state. Our 250 plus membership is comprised of recycling and environmental coordinators from businesses, local governments and educational/ military institutions, as well as industry professionals and corporations who have a committed interest in waste reduction, recycling and environmental sustainability. In 2011 we celebrated our 20^th anniversary completing a rebranding effort including a new logo placing equal emphasis on the environment and economic impact as we work toward a sustainable future for our coalition and the state of Georgia.

GRC was awarded the Recycling Coalition of the Year for 2008 by the National Recycling Coalition. Atlanta Magazine recognized the Georgia Recycling Coalition and its EcoVille website in the Best of Atlanta December 2009 issue for best Eco Service in its “Thrive” category.  EPA ‘s national Office of Solid Waste & Emergency Response awarded GRC its Strengthening Partnerships Award in 2009 for work on Downtown Zero Waste Zones, and in March 2012 the state recycling organization was honored with the Green Reach Award by the Atlanta Business Chronicle in its 2012 Environmental Awards.
