Campus Recycling
Sonoma Public Infrastructure's offices are now located at 400 Aviation Blvd, Suite 100, Santa Rosa, CA 95403.
Sonoma County Goes Greener!
Beginning the week of September 21, 2019 County Administration campus buildings (except Main Adult Detention Facility) will add compost trash bins alongside the recycle and trash receptacles. The new bin is for organic material that our waste management vendor, Recology will collect and compost. Bin labels and helpful signage will be posted in break rooms, common areas, and restrooms. Our composting program will help us reduce waste and comply with new state laws.
Thank you for supporting this program, and helping us all keep our environment clean and green. Check out our new video HERE.

Program Details
WHEN
Look for “compost” labeled receptacles beginning September 21, 2019, which will be emptied by janitorial staff every other day. Industrial compost collection bins will be collected, just as our other garbage is.
WHAT
New bins labeled “compost” alongside the existing “recycle” and “trash” (just like at home).
WHERE
Kitchens, break rooms, and marked bins in restrooms for “clean” paper towels used only to dry hands.
WHO
All County Administration Buildings (MADF, Veterans Memorial Buildings to be added at a later date). Most lease buildings already have composting programs.
HOW
Scrape your food scraps, emptied pizza boxes and paper-based takeout containers, soiled napkins, plants and flowers.
WHY
Doing our part to save the planet. (Also, new CA State laws in effect!)
NOT SURE WHAT GOES WHERE? NEED MORE INFO? Look it up using Recology’s handy “WhatBin” search tool.
