Shared from @regenmonterey:
✨ Monterey Regional Waste Management District is now... ReGen Monterey! ✨
The world has come a long way since the “Monterey Peninsula Garbage and Refuse Disposal District” was founded in 1951. By modern standards, the organization’s mission was minimal: provide one sanitary destination for trash, which in previous years had been dumped all over—including in the ocean.
But the ensuing decades brought great progress in understanding of the environment and how to protect it. That led to a crucial update of the District’s mission: Waste shouldn’t just be disposed of, but managed, with the aid of ever-advancing technology and techniques for recycling, reusing, and reducing it.
That shift was reflected in a new name: the Monterey Regional Waste Management District (MRWMD). For over seventy-years, the MRWMD has established a record of leadership in waste management, as seen in the cutting-edge Materials Recovery Facility, a greatly expanded composting operation, and other innovations.
Now, the organization’s mission is being updated again: from managing waste, to reducing it towards an eventual goal of zero. To express this third-generation mission for the organization, the District Board of Directors recently approved a new name and logo. Learn more about the rebrand at regenmonterey.org.
