Welcome
to RSI 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.
Dear Friends:
It's been a very busy spring, most projects on my Spring Offensive list are moving along. If you haven't read about it, see Spring Projects below. As for summer the focus will be on energy saving & alternative energy development. This summer we will have a series of alternative energy forums - check back here for dates and topics. If you've been in recently perhaps you've noticed how crowded it's getting, yes we need to grow, but need more folks willing to serve on a committee or our board, before we can move on. Your ideas & continued support are greatly appreciated.

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! Join Our Mailing List Click here to send an email and join our mailing list.
