25-WORD DESCRIPTION:
Advancing compost and recycling through education, collaboration, and advocacy, supporting communities, businesses, and individuals in building practical solutions for a more sustainable future.
HOW WE USE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS:
- $10 helps a Nebraska family learn how to recycle correctly, keeping valuable materials out of the landfill and protecting the places they call home.
- $25 helps a local business start recycling for the first time, turning everyday trash into resources instead of waste.
- $50 helps identify hundreds of pounds of recyclable materials being thrown away and provides practical solutions to keep them in use.
- $100 helps bring recycling education and training to a Nebraska community, empowering residents and businesses to reduce waste together.
- $250 helps expand statewide recycling solutions so more Nebraska communities—large and small—have access to the tools and knowledge they need to reduce waste.
A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Across Nebraska, recycling opportunities can vary widely depending on where someone lives. In many communities, residents want to recycle—but they often don’t have clear information about what is accepted, where materials go, or how to make programs work locally. The Nebraska Recycling Council works to bridge that gap. Every ton recycled conserves resources, reduces landfill use, and strengthens local recycling markets. More importantly, it shows communities that practical solutions are possible—even in places where recycling has historically been difficult. For many Nebraskans, recycling isn’t just about environmental values—it’s about pride in their community and leaving something better for the next generation. Support for this work helps ensure that more schools, businesses, and towns have the tools and guidance they need to turn that pride into action.
