Speaker Abstract
Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan) developed a curbside and event-based Textile Collection Program with its contractor, Alameda County Industries (ACI), upon the inception of their Franchise Agreement on May 1, 2019. The residential program consists of two Textile Collection Weeks, collection during Recycles Day events, and recovery from on-call curbside Bulky & Reuse Pick-Ups. Tonnages have far exceeded expectations of the program. Materials are processed and shipped to destinations domestically and in Central America for resale, reuse, and recycling. Attendees will learn how CVSan created its program for replication in their jurisdiction.
