The Recycling Organization Council provides recycling organizations a forum to benefit from information sharing, group deliberation of common issues, mutual support and assistance. The Council fosters the activation of its members around best recycling practices and proven successful organizational methods. The ROC serves as the voice of the NRC's affiliated state and regional recycling organizations, presenting identified needs, issues and priorities. The Council acts as the liaison to the National Recycling Coalition's Board of Directors and staff, providing representation and two-way communication with the NRC for recycling organizations and their members.
