Our SA Recycling Thousand Palms & Coachella teams were honored to sponsor the State of the City event for Palm Desert, California. As a significant and innovative hub within the Coachella Valley, Palm Desert plays a crucial role in the region. SA Recycling engaged with city officials, including Mayor Karina Quintanilla and City Councilmember Evan Trubee, to discuss air quality concerns following last year’s tropical storm Hilary. The conversation also covered the potential of our compost/mulch products in managing dust control. SA Recycling has successfully executed several dust control initiatives across the valley, with the most recent project for the City of Palm Desert located on the north side of the 10 freeway. This initiative is expected to mitigate the issue of blowing sand and dust, protecting the numerous vehicles that traverse this route. Further discussions explored additional methods to enhance the air quality for the city and the broader valley. The State of the City meeting was positive and forward-looking, filled with anticipation for the future. Our teams at the Thousand Palms and Coachella yards are committed to contributing significantly to the growth and development of not only Palm Desert but the entire Coachella Valley.
