Sacramento has received a $5,000 cash grant from national nonprofit Keep America Beautiful Inc. as part of a nationwide effort sponsored by Waste Management that encourages local solutions to improving community environments.

Waste Management representatives applied for the grant earlier this year.

The “Think Green” grant will be used to buy and install a Waste Management solar-powered compactor at Sutter’s Landing Park.

“The grant reflects on the renewal mission of the park, converting a former landfill into a beautiful urban park along side the Central City portion of the American River,” says Sacramento City Councilmember Steve Cohn.
