City of Greenfield
2022 Reuse, Recycle & Cleanup Day #1 Report
May 6, 2022
Submitted to: Mayor & City Council of the City of Greenfield through the Office of
the City Manager
On Saturday, April 30, 2022, the City of Greenfield, Tri-Cities Disposal & Recycling, and Salinas Valley Recycles
hosted a “Reuse, Recycle & Cleanup Day” event at the City of Greenfield Corporation Yard from 8 AM-12 PM.
This time window has proven optimum in
serving the community and maximizing
paid staff time. The City of Greenfield
public works yard is an ideal location for
these events. It has plenty of space to
map out the dumpsters and maintain a
safe traffic flow in and out of the event.
These events provide an alternative to
illegal dumping on the streets, alleyways,
and backroads adjacent to the
community while “lightening the load” of built-up trash for residents. The line of vehicles waiting for the event
to open speaks to their continued need and popularity. Public Works staff provides feedback that these events
keep alleyways and roadsides clean, allowing the department staff the opportunity to focus on other important
work and community services.
The event was able to achieve a high diversion rate through source separation. Salinas Valley Recycles collected
clothing donations and delivered them to Goodwill.
The Salinas Valley Recycles hazardous waste team
offered the safe collection and disposal of antifreeze,
batteries, oil, paint, and medical sharps. Monterey
County Environmental Health coordinated and
provided vouchers for an oil filter exchange. At the
event this summer, we will work to pull out clean
cardboard from loads and place it in public works
recycling dumpsters already on site. The lack of clean
rigid plastics coming to this location does not currently
necessitate a dumpster for recycling.
Tri-Cities is grateful to the team at Greenfield Public Works for their enthusiastic support and their positive
attitude in serving their community. These events continue to be successful due to the collaboration of a great
team of professionals from Salinas Valley Recycles, Monterey County Environmental Health, and Tri-Cities
Disposal & Recycling.
