Who We Are

The New England Chapter encompasses the entire states of Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Maritime Provinces of Canada.

The New England Chapter connects recyclers, consumers, and equipment/technology/service providers with industry news through meetings and events that strengthen business. The chapter also advocates for the best interests of our industry at both local and national levels. Many ReMA members’ closest business relationships began at the chapter level.
