ABOUT US

Mission: To increase positive environmental behaviors among students, parents, educators and community members in the Golden Crescent by serving as a resource for recycling information and amenities.

Golden Crescent Recycling provides recycling opportunities to all students in the seven Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission counties. The GCR goal is to increase recycling while engaging students in hands-on environmental learning. GCR is funded by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and was developed by the Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission in coordination with the City of Victoria. The program implementation period will span fall 2010 to spring 2015.
