Celebrate National Public Works Week With Santa Cruz Trolley Tour

From The City of Santa Cruz: In celebration of National Public Works Week the City of Santa Cruz is offering four days of free family-friendly trolley tours of its Recycling Center and Wastewater Treatment Facility. Recycling tours will travel to the Resource Recovery Facility where passengers will see what happens to the 40 tons of material placed into blue recycle bins each day and learn about the complex recycling process. Wastewater Treatment Facility tour passengers will witness the quality-of-life service that naturally processes 7 million gallons of wastewater daily. They will also see the recently completed ocean-themed mural that spans the plant’s long driveway with heights up to 24 feet.

The community is also invited to the Tuesday lunch hour Bike Share Ribbon-Cutting – the launch of anew Santa Cruz transportation option featuring affordable Jump Bike rentals for quick trips within city limits.
