The health and safety of our members is paramount for ISRI. To assist during this time, we have developed a hub of relevant information and resources to help keep you informed on the latest safe operations, advocacy, state & local policy and economic resources relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes information about how ISRI is actively working various state and federal policy initiatives that have impacts and potential benefits to the recycling industry.
