This land acknowledgment calls us to commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit.

Where does your Sonoma County recycling go? To the Standish Ave "MRF" in South Santa Rosa. I get a LOT of questions about this place and have toured it. Recology does an excellent job with our materials. Regarding the sorting employees...it is VERY loud, very hot (or cold), and very fast. To show respect for them, always separate your materials, clean gooey stuff, and don't put in trash such as plastic bags. ... Please share, tag your friends who LOVE recycling, and comment with questions.
