This litter abatement event is part of SFCC’s commitment to a better future. Experimental Education Grant Awarded! On October 28th, the San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) was awarded a $105,000 experiential education grant by the San Francisco Public Utility Commission (PUC) to educate underserved, aspirational youth about careers in the utility industry in general and the San Francisco PUC particularly where such youth have been historically underrepresented. Multiple Material Community Drop Off Event On October 23, the San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) corpsmembers and staff worked a multiple material community drop off event in Daly City. SFCC worked with city staff and collected waste tires, used mattresses, and electronic waste (E-Waste). The event was widely attended by the community with over 700 cars dropping off materials. SFCC collected 268 waste tires, over 175 used mattresses, and over 41,000 pounds of E-Waste. The next quarterly event will be scheduled for January 2022. Phoenix Day Block Party On September 17th, San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) staff and Corpsmembers worked the Phoenix Day Sunday Streets Block Party in the Bayview and Hunter’s Point Neighborhood event, designed to build a sense of community and inclusion throughout San Francisco’s many neighborhoods. They used our Recycling Wheel to help educate residents on proper e-waste, bottle and can, used oil, and tire recycling and disposal and promoted SFCC’s Zero Waste services. SFCC’s main administrative building and its Evans Campus are both located in the Bayview and Hunter’s Point Neighborhood and a greater sense of community needs to be fostered and celebrated. Bayview has been identified as one of the five extreme poverty neighborhoods in San Francisco by the Brookings Institution and 12% of Hunter’s Point residents, received public assistance, a rate nearly three times higher than the state and national average. Over 30% of SFCC’s corpsmembers come from the 94124 zip code in Bayview and Hunter’s Point. SFCC works to create opportunities for its corpsmembers to give back to and to support the community they come from. Italian American Heritage Festival On October 10th, San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) corpsmembers and staff worked the Italian American Heritage Festival in North Beach as a registered “Event Greener” with the City of San Francisco by collecting bottles, cans, and other recyclables and educating the public about our program and mission. As a result, 503.5 lb of recycling was diverted from landfills, and Washington Square Park remained litter-free due to SFCC’s litter abatement efforts. DOCKWALKING EVENT On September 25th, SFCC Corpsmembers and staff participated in a dockwalking and used oil education, and passed out do-it-yourself (DIY) oil kits for boaters. As part of this event, we were able to execute Boater Surveys on behalf of the California Coastal Commission and pass out SFCC Recycling program flyers. Bottle Bank Mobile California Refund Value (CRV) Recycling Pilot at Stonestown Galleria Mall The San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) held a demonstration of its Bottle Bank Mobile California Refund Value (CRV) Recycling Pilot demonstration, July 15th at Stonestown Galleria Mall. SFCC is partnering with the San Francisco Department for the Environment and Our Planet Recycling on a project to return CRV funds to consumers by providing mobile drop-off locations. Consumers place their CRV materials in special blue bags that have QR codes. Once they drop off their bags, an artificial intelligence (AI) machine calculates the value of their CRV funds and deposits them within 72 hours into the consumers’ bank account. The demonstration was attended by California Assemblymember Phil Ting (D, San Francisco), who also chairs the Assembly’s Budget Committee and KQED Investigative Reporter, Monica Lam. Ting is seen here discussing the pilot with SFCC Bottle Bank Coordinator Hassan Benyouref. The pilot is scheduled to go live citywide in January 2022. The San Francisco Conservation Corps motivates and connects youth with inspiring work, quality education, and a better future.
