RecycleForce has successfully reduced recidivism among Participants, increased their pay, and improved their abilities to support their families after leaving incarceration. The Community has also benefited from increased Participant pay; reductions in victimization, reductions in law enforcement costs, reductions in costs associated with judicial administration; and the safe removal of electronic waste.
