Rodney was great to work with and helpful in launching our MRC program. He was dedicated to the success of our program and regularly attended our local meetings. He understood that not all municipalities are not the same; he was receptive to our organizations various needs and helped us adapt programs accordingly. Thank you Rodney. It was a pleasure working with you!

Greater Valley Conservation Corps (GVCC) and myself appreciate all that Rodney has done for us when he was employed with the Mattress Recycling Council (MRC). He was a wonderful partner to have, he cares greatly for the environment and the corpsmembers that worked on his projects. Thanks to Rodney's forward thinking GVCC was able to contract with the (MRC) to remove mattress from the waste stream. Rodney is dedicated, compassionate and ready to roll up his sleeves and jump in when needed! Thanks Rodney for your partnership with GVCC, we appreciate you! Nick
