In 2002 the CRRA Board of Directors adopted a new mission statement:
Our mission is to work for – and in – the best interests of the municipalities of the State of Connecticut in developing and implementing environmentally sound solutions and best practices for solid waste disposal and recycling management on behalf of municipalities.
CRRA will strive to:
Maintain public accountability as we provide these essential public services in partnership with the private sector.
Adhere to all public policy, legislation, and regulations related to environmental standards for air, water, soils, solid waste, and recycling.
Efficiently generate energy revenues from municipal solid waste at facilities owned and/or operated by CRRA so that revenues minimize disposal fees municipalities must pay.
