The Mission of the Collegiate Recyclers Coalition (CRC) is to promote sustainable resource use through waste reduction, reuse, and recycling on college campuses and to facilitate networking, exchange of information and strategic action.
History: The CRC was founded in 1990 by a group of concerned collegiate recycling coordinators with the goal of sharing information to develop more comprehensive and supportive RRR programs across North and South Carolina. Since that time, the CRC has hosted seven conferences, increased its membership by 200% and successfully grown to become a well-respected organization in the recycling community.
