🌱 Happy Compost Awareness Week! 🌎♻️
This week, we’re celebrating Avon businesses leading the way in sustainability through the new commercial compost pilot program! A huge shoutout to Ein Prosit, Southside Benderz, Foods of Vail, Fiesta Jalisco, and House of Vibes for helping divert food waste from the landfill and turning waste into a resource.
We also want to recognize Pazzo’s Pizzeria, Agave, and Northside Kitchen for joining the composting effort and making a positive impact in our community.
Together, we’re reducing waste one compost bin at a time. 🌿🍎♻️

♻️ Something big is rolling out in our community…

We’ve officially kicked off installations that will expand access to recycling where it hasn’t existed before—bringing new curbside bins, shared infrastructure, and community-built solutions across neighborhoods and local businesses.

This is just the beginning of a larger effort to make recycling easier, more equitable, and truly community-driven.

More soon. 🚛🌱

Algo grande está llegando a nuestra comunidad…

Hemos iniciado oficialmente las instalaciones que ampliarán el acceso al reciclaje en lugares donde antes no existía—llevando nuevos contenedores en la banqueta, infraestructura compartida y soluciones creadas por la comunidad en vecindarios y negocios locales.

Esto es solo el comienzo de un esfuerzo más grande para hacer que el reciclaje sea más fácil, más equitativo y verdaderamente impulsado por la comunidad.

Más noticias pronto. 🚛🌱

Earth Day isn’t just one day—it’s where you are. Celebrate in your own way, right where you are, through the small, quiet choices you make every day. The bottle you recycle, the bag you skip, the habits you keep. Tiny actions, repeated, become something bigger than they seem. 🌎✨
