If you’re here, you already know the value of a strong recycling program—and now you can help amplify the message across R.I.
RIRRC has created a set of ready-to-use social media posts designed to educate and reinforce good recycling habits. These resources are available for local governments, recycling haulers, and Rhode Island organizations to share with their communities. By working together, we can spread consistent, accurate messages about the benefits of recycling, and how to do it right.
For images formatted for X/Twitter, email a request to info@rirrc.org
We've made it easy:
- Browse the toolkit
(filter with the "Themes" menu in the upper right corner of page). - Choose the message that fits.
- Download the image.
- Copy the caption.
- Share and inspire others to recycle more and better!
Together, we can keep Rhode Island cleaner, greener, and more sustainable!
