Santa Clarita City Briefs

It’s official- the City’s Earth Day Festival and 20^th Annual Arbor Day Celebration was a zero-waste event!  Held on April 18, the City event used recycling and composting bins in place of trash cans. Burrtec Waste Industries was instrumental in making this a successful zero-waste event.  

The City also worked with vendors at the Festival to ensure that all of their products would not generate trash, but rather could be reused, recycled, or composted.
