Welcome!
NCRA is an association of recycling businesses, community groups, municipalities and individuals committed to promoting, expanding, and institutionalizing Recycling and Zero Waste. Founded in 1978, we formally organized as a 501c6 nonprofit trade organization in the early 1990s. The majority of our 500 members are located in Northern California. Boat rockers, we are active locally, regionally, state-wide and nationally depending on what needs to be done.
NCRA promotes waste reduction, reuse, salvaging, recycling, and composting as vital tools for resource and energy conservation, and as cost-effective, environmentally sound methods of disposing of discarded materials.
