FOR RECYCLING AND NATIVE PLANTS!
It has come to the attention of the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council (HANC) that the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department will attempt to evict the recycling center and native plant nursery from its 35-year home at Arguello and Frederick Streets near Kezar Stadium. They are apparently working with the Inner Sunset Park Neighbors behind closed doors for this eviction. This is the same group that sponsors the wildly popular Inner Sunset Farmers’ Market. HANC does not feel that it is right for one neighborhood organization not to directly contact another organization about possible grievances and work to resolve those differences or at least discuss them in an open and straightforward manner. This is especially true when the Recycling and Native Plant Garden Center is outside the boundaries of their organization.
Some facts about the Recycling Center:
· Fiscally sponsors the Garden for the Environment at 7th Ave and Lawton Streets
· Provides 10 green jobs
· Operates a native plant nursery that serves all of San Francisco
· Is a California State certified redemption center for bottles and cans
· Conducts classes in gardening for native plants
· Gives monetary grants to neighborhood organizations
For more information go to our website www.hanc-sf.org and look for the recycling center pages. Please write a letter expressing your support or use the template below.
When you take action on behalf of the center, let us know by emailing a copy of your letter to garbagefilm@gmail.com. We are also working on a survey to help start a conversation on this issue. If you have a suggestion for a good survey question, include that in your email as well! Thanks for your efforts!!
