Sierra
Conservation Project and the Town of Mammoth Lakes team up to expand the town’s
recycling program.

The Town of Mammoth Lakes has teamed up with The Sierra Conservation
Project, Inc. (SCP) in order to put one large, green foot forward.
Progressive changes are prevailing in Mammoth Lakes, CA as the
SCP along with Mammoth has announced the expansion of services to the condominium,
commercial and recreational area recycling programs. This is great news on the
heels of learning about the proposed ban on plastic bottles and bags that is
gaining momentum amongst many Mammoth locals.
The partnership between the SCP and the Town of Mammoth Lakes
has existed for quite some time now and is considered by town officials to be a
successful program. Mammoth and the SCP have received an award of $108,000 grant
from Department of Recourses Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to expand their
current recycling programs within the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
According to the town’s official website, The SCP is working in concert
with the Town of Mammoth Lakes and CalRecycle to provide 30 bear-proof
containers to the condominium complexes in town that currently don’t have a
recycling program.
The CalRecylcle grant funds will allow the SCP and Mammoth to
upgrade all of their commercial bear-proof containers at restaurants, bars and
other business locations in town. Improvement to the Mammoth’s recycling
infrastructure in and around the Lakes Basin will involve new containers in town
parks like the Whitmore Recreation Area and Shady Rest Park.
To register for the SCP and Town Condominium Recycling Program, the
