As Executive Director, Reposa will be responsible for all facets of Resource Recovery’s operations, strategic direction, financial solvency, and long-term planning.
“I am looking forward to working with the Resource Recovery team, its partners and the communities across Rhode Island to continue to provide safe, environmentally responsible and sustainable solid waste services,” remarked Reposa. He will assume the executive director role effective June 19.
