At the 26th Annual Conference & Expo, Paula Dow (L), Executive Director for the NRRA and Rick Cooper (R), President of the Board for the NRRA were presented the Environmental Stewardship Award by Marissa Frischetti, Account Manager of Veolia ES Technical Solutions out of Stoughton, MA.

The Northeast Resource Recovery Association has been presented the 2006 Environmental Stewardship Award from Veolia Technical Solutions of North America. The agency received the award earlier this month.

Each year, Veolia selects a customer from each region that has exhibited a dedication to environmental stewardship that goes above and beyond that of a simple recycling program. According to Marissa Frischetti, Veolia’s Regional Manager "NRRA was selected because of its mission to the environment through waste reduction, recycling and education. Its success is evident in its broad membership base, its diverse marketing services and its network of innovative recycling and waste management partners throughout greater New England".

"The NRRA provides the highest environmental and ethical standards for outsourcing recyclables, with expert technical assistance and great purchasing power for its more than 375 members," says Frischetti.
