In partnership with the City of Salinas and Republic Services, we have two more Salinas composting workshops with a new added feature - free compost giveaway! Come prepared with a sturdy container or truck, shovel, and gloves to get your free compost to apply to your gardens and plants.

Registration not required but suggested to secure your spot and ensure we have enough materials reserved for you. See you there!

Wally's Recycle Fest (in conjunction with America Recycles Day) will be here before we know it, and we want to spend it with you! Save the Date for Saturday, November 16 as we celebrate our shared successes in diversion with games, food, workshops, compost, and giveaways!

We Don't Have to Live Like This

Seeing scattered trash along business districts shouldn’t be normal. Let’s normalize clean business fronts, because our small business owners and taxpayers should not bear the responsibility of other’s misplaced trash. 

Help keep our community clean by disposing of waste correctly and reporting litter & illegal dumping to KeepMontereyCountyClean.Org.
