About Stop Waste

Stop Waste is a public agency committed to advancing environmental sustainability and building healthy, equitable, climate-resilient communities in Alameda County and beyond. By partnering with non-profits, businesses, schools, and local governments in the communities we serve, our efforts are amplified and better tied to community needs in one of the most diverse and dynamic regions in the country.

Advancing a circular economy is an aim that threads through our three programmatic focus areas: waste prevention and material circularity, strengthening community food systems, and accelerating construction innovation and a clean energy transition in buildings. Our strategy in how we design programs is guided by the understanding that fostering equity and care for the environment is imperative for building sustainable communities.

Our work reflects our commitment to these imperatives and is grounded in our unique approach to cultivating environmental stewardship, developing partnerships, and fostering innovation.
