Recycling Containers

Sustainable Fairfax has been successful in obtaining seven sets of public recycling containers to be built, installed, and maintained by Marin Conservation Corps job training program. The containers are constructed from recycled plastic lumber. A group made up of local children, teachers, parents, and artists are creating nine mosaic plaques depicting native species of plants, animals, and insects to be installed on these bins. Tilly Nylen, the mosaic artist who organized the artwork for Millennium Park in San Anselmo, has trained several artists and middle school children to work together on this project.

In addition to the seven bins for the parks, Sustainable Fairfax has worked closely with the Town of Fairfax in obtaining a grant from The California State Department Office of Waste Management to provide an additional three sets of recycling bins for the downtown business area. These bins will be serviced by Fairfax Refuse and Recycling and are also made from recycled plastic lumber.
