During Zero Waste Week, we encourage you to get involved and learn how we can move our community closer to achieving zero waste. Throughout the week of July 23-30, North Bay Zero Waste partners will host activities and events that focus on reducing, reusing, recycling, repurposing, and composting. To celebrate Zero Waste Week, the City of Santa Rosa will host tours of the Laguna Treatment Plant and a kids’ Creek Protector Adventure Day along the Santa Rosa Creek. LEARN MORE

Santa Rosa Fire Plans Upcoming Prescribed Burn
