We want to give big shout out of gratitude to all those that volunteered at the 2026 Wine Country Century earlier this May. With 6 locations over the course of two days (plus 5 aid stations) it was no easy task to set up waste stations across the event. But with their coordinated efforts, creative signage, and team work they did an incredible job! They were able to divert clean compost and recycling to be recovered instead of being sent to the landfill.

Since the opening of our new Recycling Facility, we have given tours to just over 1,700 people! 👏

We are proud of our new facility and want to create transparency by showing customers exactly what happens to their recyclables beyond their bin. Part of making this experience comfortable and impactful, we have come to realize, is good equipment. We want to give a special thank you to Plant-Tours.com for the amazing headsets and receivers we use on every tour—they make a world of difference.
