Downtown Recycling Program

An innovative downtown-recycling program initiated by Sustainable Fairfax was officially launched on January 22, 2001, with the placement of the first two bins in downtown Fairfax – one in the park on Bolinas Road and the other in the picnic area of Peri Park.

The Fairfax Downtown-Recycling program was originally planned in 2000 and was made possible through support by a coalition of Sustainable Fairfax, Marin Conservation Corps, Town of Fairfax, Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, Fairfax Refuse and Recycling, and local artists and school children. White Hill School art teacher Gray Dean and Sustainable Fairfax member Odessa Wolff co-coordinated the project. Other members of the Recycling Committee include Fairfax Town Council member Lew Tremaine, Fairfax Chamber of Commerce staff person Molly Graham, and Green Party candidate for Congress Justin Moscoso. Ardis Ashton and Kimberly Fox organized the involvement of the Marin Conservation Corps.
