How Are We Doing?

State law mandates that at least 50 percent of our garbage be recycled by next year. As of 1998, only Monterey and Marina had met that goal.

Marina*--54 percent

Monterey--54 percent

Seaside*--48 percent

Pebble Beach--39 percent

Carmel--37 percent

Pacific Grove--36 percent

Del Rey Oaks--35 percent

Sand City--34 percent

Monterey County (unincorporated)--25 percent

Salinas--16 percent

* Because of skewed figures due to the closure of Fort Ord, Marina and Seaside's recycling rates are artificially high.
