Testimonials Peg, Northfield…. “NRRA’s Pilot program was introduced to us in Dec.’08 when the bottom dropped out of the recycle markets...to find alternatives to our rising transportation costs and declining revenues from our recycling programs, we joined this program and have been in ever since. We keep our transportation costs down while still generating revenue from our recyclables”

Justin, Gilmanton….“having the convenience of moving multiple commodities.. getting cleaned out & rid of everything at once”

Scott, Moultonborough….”solves my storage problems and gets our material to market”
