Curbside Value Partnership is an independent, 501(c)3 originally established by The Aluminum Association as a partnership with other material industries to prompt curbside recycling.

Success[]

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.
