The Center for the Development of Recycling (CDR) was a university-based, non-profit, environmental research and service organization. The CDR operated the recycling services directory website RecycleStuff.us and operated a call center for appointments on the disposal of household hazardous waste on behalf of the counties of Santa Clara and San Mateo until June 30th 2024. Additionally, CDR completed waste reduction projects and contracts for both counties.[1]

The CDR was located in the Department of Environmental Studies at San Jose State University,[2] and was staffed by faculty-managed service-learning university students. Alumni frequently earned careers in sustainable materials management.[3]
