In 2000, SRI partnered with Rainbow Acres, a community for adults with developmental disabilities, to offer employment to Rainbow Acres residents. As recycling demand continued to increase, SRI was awarded a $50,000 grant from ADEQ in 2002, to expand recycling drop-off collection systems in the Verde Valley. One year later, another ADEQ grant was received for the acquisition of a large-capacity baler, which has enabled us to process materials more efficiently. Starting in 2006, SRI began offering electronics recycling at the Sedona material recovery facility. We now service and maintain 13 free 24/7 drop-off sites and process 15 tons of recyclable materials per day with a staff of 20 full- and part-time employees. We are continually working to expand our services to better serve the residents and businesses of Sedona and the Verde Valley.
