Tour of Marin Sanitary Service Recycling Center (San Rafael)

Your tour starts in our Educational Classroom where we’ll dig into the nuts and bolts of recycling and recyclability in Marin County. We’ll discuss State law SB 1383, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act. (Mandatory Composting law) There will be an opportunity for conversation and time to ask all your recycling/composting questions! Then we’ll visit the Marin Recycling Center where you can see how your paper, plastic, glass and aluminum are sorted and baled to be sent to a recycling facility. We’ll take you step-by-step through the recovery/sorting process and highlight the machinery and human beings that make it happen. At the Transfer Station you’ll see where the garbage trucks roll in and learn what happens to your garbage before it is sent to the landfill. And finally, we’ll visit the famous Flying Can Ranch where you’ll meet our pigs, chickens and peacocks and learn how they contribute to our commitment to sustainability.
