Sights & Sounds earns zero-waste status

Sights & Sounds of Christmas achieved zero-waste status for the first time in its 33-year history. 

The 2019 event had 10% or less of all its waste sent to the landfill, according to the City of San Marcos. 

“A goal like this is not achieved without lots of hard work, dedication and determination to make a difference,” said Community Enhancement Initiatives Manager Amy Kirwin, who leads the city’s Resource Recovery team.  “Hundreds of volunteers donated time to this effort to help direct attendees and to sort waste when necessary.”
