NCRA's Recycling Update (RU) is THE event of the year for Northern Californiar esource management professionals. RU features 20+ experts on the spectrum of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot, as well as networking opportunities and plenty of ideas to bring home to your community.

Often referred to as conference “speed dating”, RU presenters have only 10 minutes to let you know about the latest and greatest in waste reduction, high diversion and Zero Waste. Attendees include municipal staff, service providers, consultants and activists as well as local, regional and state policy-makers and members of the media covering Sustainability, Zero Waste, Reuse, Recycling, Composting and Product Stewardship.

Each paid registration includes 6 or 12 months of membership. If, for any reason, you would like to opt-out, please find the Accept Membership? at the bottom of the registration page and select No. Zero Waste Production Team Members should select N/A.

This year, in our on-going efforts to make RU a Zero Waste event, we have added 4 meal related questions to the bottom of the form.

Green Drinks will also be on campus, right after RU. People who do not attend RU must pay a fee to attend. Register here or at the door.

Additional networking events are being planned - in-person and virtual. Stay tuned.
In person attendees must comply with all Federal, State, and local laws, ordinances and regulations.
