The Illinois Recycling Association

The Illinois Recycling Association is the only collective voice for recycling on critical waste management issues facing this state. We represent your interests at the state level. For a more complete idea of what the Illinois Recycling Association does, check out our Mission Statement and Goals on our Mission Page.

Besides being your voice on issues facing Illinois, IRA membership also means membership in the National Recycling Coalition. IRA is the only full affiliate of the NRC in Illinois. Check out our Benefits page for a list of other valuable services that are available to Illinois Recycling Association members.

We welcome everyone whose work is related to recycling in any way to Join Us. IRA is comprised of recycling professionals in government, business, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations. Membership enables you to keep up with the latest developments and network with hundreds of recycling colleagues. Learn more about some of them on our Member Links page.
