What's New In Recycling
GREEN BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
The Sausalito Sustainability Commission needs your help. Every year we honor a business or agency that exemplifies the goals of the Commission. That is, to reduce waste, increase recycling, find ways to use alternative energy, reduce pollution and hazardous waste, and find ways to minimize environmental degredation. We would like you to tell us about an organization that should be honored this year. The Commission will be collecting nominations from residents and organizations in the city. The honoree will be announced in September. Do you know any green businesses? Click here to tell us about your nomination and why it deserves to be honored.
Help us Raise our Recycling Rate
We want to make it as convenient and economical as possible for you. As in all California cities, we must recycle everything possible to avoid stiff, State-mandated, penalties, and to minimize the use of expensive, unfriendly, landfills. In recent years, Marin increased our waste-to-the-dump ratio to over 65%. However, Sausalito is still not doing its share. With your help, we can do our part. The rules are fairly simple and sensible. Read them here, print this web page or go to our special Recycling Reminder Card and print it. We update the web page several times a year. If you have questions or comments, please email us at wizard.sausalito@sbcglobal.net
