CVSan: Magnolia Grove Receives Green Neighbor Community Award!

Multi-family communities that are on the path to zero waste qualify for CVSan's new Green Neighbor Community Recognition Program!

Congratulations to Magnolia Grove, the latest multi-family community to be certified by Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan) in the Green Neighbor Community Recognition Program! The program recognizes local multi-family communities who practice the 4Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rot (organics) to help make Castro Valley a healthier and more sustainable place to live and work.

Magnolia Grove multi-family community manager, Jessica said, "We schedule our annual bulky bin pick ups, and as Resident Manager I do try to keep our community informed about the textiles pick up now provided through ACI each June and October. I also share about the online gifting communities I am aware of, such as Facebook groups like Buy Nothing and Freecycle. It's heart-warming to see items spark joy for others, and it also helps keep things out of the landfill."

CVSan thanks Magnolia Grove and its community members for practicing the 4Rs. Multi-family communities that are on the path to zero waste qualify for CVSan’s new Green Neighbor Community Recognition Program! For more information, visit cvsan.org/GreenNeighbor.
