The City, County and Eldorado/285 Recycles want to encourage you to turn food waste into a valuable soil amendment. If you live in the Eldorado/285 corridor, contact Eldorado/285 Recycles for information. We can explain this great concept and, if you are convinced, we can even install a compost system on your property. Contact Chris Harrell, clharrell505@gmail.com.

In the fall of 2020, a committee of five Eldorado/285 Recycles members formed a Plastics Pollution committee to initiate a project to address the growing crisis of plastic in our local community, our country, and the world. We have now become Beyond Plastics Santa Fe, a project of Eldorado/285 Recycles. Follow our progress here: https://beyondplasticssfe.weebly.com
