California Department of Conservation
Funds SFCC to recycle tons of beverage containers and divert these recyclables away from clogged landfills. Teams of Corpsmembers work together to collect and sort recyclables, educate businesses and residents, and manage recycling at large-sale public events throughout San Francisco, ensuring that the events generate as little waste as possible. Funding for these recycling projects was authorized through California’s AB 2020, also known as The Bottle Bill.
