Calaveras County, CA...Below is a great PSA on recycling from Cal-Waste. They finished Jan 2015 and have taken the video to EVERY elementary school and had an unveiling assembly.

Let’s help to teach the next generation about the importance of recycling and keeping our environment healthy! Stay tuned for a sequel down the road!
