CVSan Awards Star Employees of 4R Star Business Program
CVSan would like to shine a light on the winners of the 2020 4R Star Employee Award for helping send fewer materials to the landfill.
Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan) certifies businesses who maintain recycling and composting rates well over 60 percent in the 4R Star Business Program. This year, CVSan asked the community for help on Facebook and Twitter to find and recognize the work of environmentally conscious employees. For the seventh year, specific employees of 4R Star Businesses who promoted the 4R’s - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rot - in the workplace, were recognized with an award from CVSan.
