Scotts Valley, California.

The Pack Your Trash Anti Litter Team visited Scotts Valley Middle School with Executive Directors Ray Conti & Steve Smith. They spoke to almost 700 students during two huge assemblies. Chris Moran from the City of Santa Cruz showed up along with Joel Corona, Rini Van Every and Elaina Smith from Waste Management, Inc. with their robot "Cycler" which is made entirely from recycled trash ...This robot was really cool ...it would answer questions about recycling. The students learned all about the importance of keeping their community trash free.

Volunteers are needed to help spread the message and continue keeping the beaches clean. If you would like to get involved and help you can contact (831) 464-7763 or email
