Welcome to RSI
Serving our community and the environment since 1971

Our Mission

Recycling Services understands the critical need to educate the public and to create a market for recycled products.

Our vision is to become a community-based, self-contained recycling center. RSI has made a moral decision to provide an educational program that is essential to life itself.

We strive to provide a center where recycling will create new products from old ones, and to preserve the rich heritage of the earth for future generations through other projects including organic farming, renewable resources and land preservation.


2011 Membership Drive Starting

 

Dear Friends:


This has been a year of starts & stops, openings and closing of projects, our Pottstown Super Green living space is now on hold & another one of our storage spaces for solar equipment is closed. Projects not essential to recycling operations are on hold for lack of support & markets with the exception on metals are pretty bad. your supporting membership contribution at this time of the year is especially critical to carry us over traditionally very slow collection days.

Please keep in mind our membership meeting Saturday Dec. 11 at 1:30 here at RSI & that Christmas & New Years are both Saturdays there will be no collection those days, also to save funds we won't have Tuesday collection again this year starting Jan. 4 & open again Tuesdays March 15. Yes it's true, the recycling center will be 40 years old come Earth Day! No I don't expect a parade, thank you's & hugs are always welcome. Thanks for your continued interest & support & I hope for you all the best of holday season & wonder filled New Year.

Gate fee increase!

The new gate fee is $8 per car.  For the past few years, $8 has been the average per-car cost to process materials and run the center.  We've managed to keep the fee below this for a number of years by supplementing our income with fundraisers.  Unfortunately, that is no longer enough.  Thank you for your understanding, and your continued support of recycling and environmental awareness!
