About RECYCLE ACROSS AMERICA

Recycle Across America (RAA) is a Minnesota‑based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that created and distributes society‑wide standardized labels for recycling, compost, and trash bins to reduce contamination and improve recycling outcomes. The organization combines label distribution, public education, and policy advocacy to make recycling clearer and more effective in schools, businesses, parks, airports, stadiums, and municipal programs.

RAA is an active, donor‑facing charity with a public web presence and recent publicly filed returns. Its most recent publicly filed Form 990 (fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2023) reported total revenue of approximately $194,922, with net inventory sales forming the majority of that revenue, reflecting continuing label production and distribution activity. In the last several years RAA has continued outreach, partner programs, and public presentations (including a reported presentation at the United Nations Sea of Solutions forum) and maintains partnerships and donations programs with corporate and institutional partners to place standardized labels in K‑12 schools, parks, stadiums, and other public settings.

Notable achievements

Society‑wide label distribution

RAA reports that its standardized recycling/compost/trash labels are now deployed across millions of bins nationwide (the organization cites more than 11 million labels in use), giving a single, consistent visual system wherever people recycle.

Measured school district impact

RAA reports documented results in K‑12 programs (example: a donated label roll-out in Orange County Public Schools) showing multi‑thousand‑ton increases in recycled tonnage and substantial net savings in trash hauling costs—figures the organization uses to demonstrate program effectiveness.

High‑profile event support

RAA’s standardized signage was used in stadium and event projects (including US Bank Stadium’s Super Bowl zero‑waste efforts), where organizers reported very high diversion rates for event waste, illustrating the labels’ role in large‑scale recycling operations.
