Kevin Drew

Kevin Drew is the Senior Residential & Special Projects Zero Waste Coordinator, San Francisco Department of Environment. Kevin has been involved in coordinating recycling, reuse and composting in SF since the 1980’s. The City of San Francisco set a goal in 2003 of getting to Zero Waste by 2020, this means no material to landfill or incinerator. Their efforts have led SF to focus on the recovery of organic materials and become one of the leading cities in the world. SF captures 700 tons of organic material every day to transform into organic compost for use on farms and vineyards that send their products back to the city each day. This is truly a closed loop, circular local economy.
