City of Santa Cruz Recycle Right Boot Camp 2023 4/4/2023 6:00 PM - 4/4/2023 7:30 AM

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 19:00:10 GMT

Confused about recycling? You're not alone! There have been many changes to the recycling industry since China stopped taking most material from the West a few years ago. The curtain has been pulled back to reveal that recycling is more than a symbol, a number and a blue bin. Is recycling still worth it? You bet! We just have to learn to “recycle right.” Join us for an in-depth look at the world of recycling — materials management on a global scale all the way down to our own region here in Santa Cruz. You will find out if you are “wish-cycling” and how to stop, what we recycle, how we recycle and where the items we collect in the City of Santa Cruz end up.
