Mission:

Recycling For College is a nonprofit corporation formed to provide an opportunity for students to earn college tuition through recycling. The nonprofit organization raises funds through our certified recycling community service program, which allows us to collect public recycling from events and venues to support our mission. Student participants will recycle beverage containers and deposit the cash redemption value into a 529 College Savings Plan for the use of college tuition and expenses. The goal of the organization is to match each participant’s deposits earned from CRV to support their recycling and educational efforts. Currently, there is no other known program that provides the opportunity to earn college tuition through recycling. The potential for the program is limitless.

The mission of Recycling For College is to provide accessibility to a college education for students of diverse backgrounds through recycling. Our goal is to provide a means for college savings at no cost for students who make recycling an active part of their lives.
