SANTA ROSA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2024 / Conservation Corps North Bay's (CCNB) new facility in Sonoma County will be unveiled to partners, donors, and community members in October's Grand Opening, highlighting its larger capacity for storage of recyclables, easier access for corpsmembers, and increased reach of its natural resources services.
With support from funders such as Cal Recycle, Wells Fargo, REDF, Ginnie and Peter Haas Jr., and The William G. Irwin Charity Foundation, CCNB purchased and is making renovations to a 25,000-square-foot building at 3555 Airway Dr. off Industrial Dr. in North Santa Rosa, which is accessible by walking or biking and close to public transportation routes.
Since the move began in March of this year, the new building represents more capacity for CCNB's Zero Waste program to expand their E-waste, mattress, and other recycling collection efforts, and the ability to provide more fire fuel reduction, flood prevention, and trail restoration services across Sonoma County.
"We are grateful to all who have been involved in making this vision a reality. In the six months since we made this move, we have seen immediate increases in recycling drop offs, quantity of field projects, and number of local young adults applying for our program. We can't wait to welcome more as our capacity continues to grow."
-Angel Minor, CEO
