Environmental Health's Recycling and Resource Recovery Services (RRRS) implements and promotes recycling and waste reduction programs throughout the unincorporated areas of Monterey County. We facilitate waste diversion efforts by providing technical assistance, resources, and educational materials.
The staff of RRRS is comprised of a team of Registered Environmental Health Specialists who manage a well-rounded set of programs that support the efforts of Monterey County residents, businesses and visitors to divert waste from landfills in order to preserve Monterey County's unique and varied ecosystems from the harmful impacts of improper waste disposal.
