How do CRC Corpsmembers help meet State recycling requirements?
The Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) mandated local jurisdictions to meet landfill diversion goals of 50% by 2000 and 75% by 2010. CRC corpsmembers at Conservation Corps North Bay collected and sorted over 150,000 lbs of recyclables in the past year, helping our communities reduce landfill rates.
