Curbside Value Partnership works "one-on-one" with communities to increase participation in curbside recycling and track their gains. Since its launch, Curbside Value Partnership has engaged 34 communities and statewide programs in: Minnesota, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.[1]

Success

Curbside Value Partnership's success varies per community but on average, the interaction observers a 23% increase in recycling volume and an 18% increase in participation.[2]

Curbside Value Partnership was recently selected to manage The Recycling Partnership. On July 1, 2014, The Recycling Partnership officially launched and selected three cities to seeds grant dollars in order to unlock public investment and dramatically increase recycling rates. The Recycling Partnership focuses on four key areas: growing collection capacity by supporting the switch to carts, supporting high quality education and outreach, providing technical assistance to ensure strategy across the material recovery supply chain, and champion building with local and state elected officials. The inaugural group of funding partners include Alcoa, Amcor, American Chemistry Council, American Forest & Paper Association, Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers, Ball, Carton Council of North America, Coca-Cola, SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association, and Sonoco.[3]
