Landscape Waste Prevention Demonstration Project

North Bay Landscape Management Outreach

CIWMB conducted a $41,000 landscape management outreach program with participating jurisdictions in the North Bay Area Counties of Contra Costa, Napa and Solano. A regional steering committee, working in alliance with local public agencies, waste management organizations, landscape industry associations and educators, organized and implemented a series of outreach activities and events. The goals of the outreach campaign were to:

• Reduce the volume of green waste disposed in regional landfills.
• Increase usage of green materials source reduction and on-site management practices.
• Increase usage of recycled organic products in urban landscapes.
• Increase local jurisdictions’ green waste diversion rates to meet mandate requirements.
