CASTRO VALLEY, CA – Waste360 has selected Naomi Lue, Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan)’s Zero Waste Supervisor, as a winner in its fourth annual 40 Under 40 Award. This award recognizes inspiring and innovative professionals under the age of 40 whose work in recycling, organics, and zero waste has made a significant contribution to the industry. This year’s award winners are involved in every part of the waste and recycling industry, including municipalities, composters, recycling professionals, and policymakers.

Naomi Lue has been a CVSan employee for more than 15 years and oversees and directs Castro Valley’s award-winning Zero Waste programs and services. In her recent interview with Waste360 she discusses her career with CVSan and her passion for promoting Zero Waste.

"I believe Naomi has set a very high bar today for public zero waste programs that engage and educate her community, and she will continue to expand how the public considers their lifestyle habits and connection between self-worth, consumption, material possessions and stewardship," says Junna Ro, vice president and associate general counsel at CSAA Insurance Group in Walnut Creek, CA, who participated alongside Lue in Leadership California’s California Issues and Trends Program.

Naomi Lue says, “I grew up in Castro Valley, so it’s been incredibly rewarding to serve my community. The most rewarding part of my career at CVSan has been seeing the creation of zero waste programs that neighbors, friends and community members participate in and remember in a positive way.”
