As the Organics Program Manager for Zero Waste Sonoma, I oversee contracts, education, and policies related to composting in Sonoma County, CA. One of my primary responsibilities is assisting the Cities and County in implementing the state law Senate Bill (SB) 1383: Short-lived Climate Pollutants, which mandates residential and commercial participation in an organics collection program. With the anticipated increase in organics diversion, I’m part of a team exploring options to site and construct a new composting facility. In addition, I am currently implementing a food recovery grant and managing a countywide food recovery capacity study.
