Recycling Services, Inc. - A Recycling and Alternative Energy Center

RSI started as a club at Owen J Roberts High School in 1971. We have been helping to keep the Pottstown area Green Since 1971!

Since then, under the leadership of Jim Crater, we have become one of the oldest and most respected recycling and alternative energy resource centers in the Northeast! Recycling Services is a unique place where supporting members bring in their recyclable items and participate in the sorting of their own materials, therefore becoming a part of the recycling process. We are also an alternative ener

gy resource center for those interested in solar, wind and other forms of alternative energy. This April 22nd marked the 44th year since a group of students at Owen J. Roberts High School started “The Ecology Club". While recycling had been done in years past, the call for renewed efforts to protect the planet from pollution and save it for future generations deeply touched the heart and mind of one of those students. Jim Crater, now RSI President & General Manager, has been running a recycling program since then and leading the call for “living lightly on the planet” for most of his life. Our collection program now includes over 50 types of glass, metals, papers, plastics, tires, textiles & electronics. In addition to receiving items, RSI is now the destination for increasing numbers of artists and entrepreneurs seeking raw materials such as corks, wine bottles, metal, wax & more. This year, our focus will be developing more local markets. The Common Thread Project's goals are to make something new from something old, generate no waste, run off renewable energy & have work done by differently-abled workers. In addition, we are rebuilding used solar equipment, experimenting with E2E (exercise to energy), and working on child car seat recycling, currently a prison job training effort that will be expanded to make a finished product. Lots of interesting things going on, check our website for more information & how to help support our efforts:
