Held every year in conjunction with ISRI’s annual convention and exposition, RERF raises money to sponsor projects which promote public awareness, education, research, and the advancement of recycling. As the primary way of raising money, the proceeds from the auction supports the foundation’s efforts to strengthen the recycling industry through industry research as well as fund scholarships, grants, and other initiatives
The Silent Auction has raised over $240,000 from donations such as scrap metal art, hotel packages, jewelry, sporting goods, and equipment and tools for scrap facilities.
