RecycleForce

RecycleForce is a 501(c)3 social enterprise based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Employing 114 individuals, the organization generates $50 million in annual revenue. RecycleForce provides comprehensive and innovative recycling services to residents and corporate partners. Their services involve deconstructing electronic waste and other recyclables, recycling the materials, and ensuring safe and clean waste disposal. The recovered scrap metals and reusable materials are subsequently sold to fund job training programs and employment opportunities for formerly incarcerated individuals. This revenue-generating model empowers individuals to re-enter society as contributing members. RecycleForce's unique approach goes beyond traditional job training. Their "wrap-around" model offers program participants a combination of job skills development, character building, and personal counseling. This integrated support system aims to increase the likelihood of sustained employment and reduce recidivism rates. The organization actively collaborates with industry partners and employers committed to hiring ex-offenders, facilitating the transition from temporary work to full-time employment.
