The City of Monterey
started the Blue to Blue program in February
2008 thanks to a grant from the Department of
Conservation. Through the program we’ve targeted
200 bars, restaurants, and hotels to outfit with
a comprehensive recycling program which includes
FREE interior bins, training posters, and
personal training to ensure maximum program
effectiveness.

The Goal: Targeting
tourism-based businesses to take some of our
biggest trash generators and turn them into our
biggest recycling generators. We also want to
make recycling a natural thing to do; when you
see blue bins you know they’re for recycling,
and not trash.
The Program: Free to participants, allowing
them to contribute to conserving resources, and
helping them reduce their trash costs since the
recycling service is no cost to businesses.
The following are the types of containers that
are typically offered through this program: |
