Community: A feeling of fellowship with others
Events, Volunteerism & Sponsorships
COMMUNITY EVENTS
GreenWaste thoroughly enjoys participating in local community events, from Town Picnics to annual races, to targeted educational workshops. Being involved with City and Town festivities afford us the opportunity to learn more about the communities we serve while providing education on waste reduction and recycling. Keep an eye out for our team at your next community event!
CREEK CLEAN UP AND OCEAN LITTER AWARENESS
Over the past few years, GreenWaste has stepped up its commitment to preventing ocean plastic pollution by participating in creek and community litter clean ups and by donating plastic to a Monterey Bay Aquarium plastic whale art installation. Waste haulers like GreenWaste hold a vital role in preventing ocean plastic pollution by ensuring loads are properly covered, and by using their position to educate the communities they serve.

GreenWaste enjoys sponsoring and volunteering for a wide range of community events and organizations. Have an opportunity you think GreenWaste is the perfect fit for? Contact us at news@greenwaste.com.
Youth Education
SCHOOL & YOUTH ORGANIZATION PRESENTATIONS
GreenWaste understands that today’s youth represent our future. Working with local schools and youth organizations is something we not only take pride in but is a highly effective way of ensuring that each generation values recycling more than the last.
Youth presentations and availability vary based on service area. If you would like GreenWaste to visit your classroom or youth organization, please contact your local GreenWaste Recovery office.
