PSC's Environmental & Community Programs
We strive to be a responsible member of the community and a friend to the environment. We’re proud to be certified as a Bay Area Green Business by the County of Sonoma.

Recycling & Composting
Recycling: We recycle everything feasible—office paper, cardboard, aluminum, and plastics—both at our facility and at events. We use recycled and recyclable materials whenever possible, including to-go packaging and marketing pieces.
Composting: Food scraps and biodegradable products (paper plates, corn-based “plastics”) are composted and sent to the worm farm. We keep a full compost dumpster, a recycling dumpster, and only two small trash cans.
-
Conservation & Bio-Friendly
Water: Low-flow fixtures throughout our facility and drip irrigation for our drought-tolerant landscaping.
Energy: Efficient lighting with motion/occupancy sensors, evaporative coolers, and car-pooling to events.
Bio-friendly: Safer cleaning and perimeter pest products, an oversized grease trap, and we avoid Styrofoam. We also recommend renewable menu choices (e.g., tilapia over sea bass).
-
Community Giving
Contributions: Each year we donate well over $20,000 in gift certificates and catering to local fundraisers—COTS, PEP Housing, Cinnabar Theatre, schools & churches, and many others. We support the Petaluma Community Kitchen and have donated equipment (including a delivery van).
Recognition: Proud recipients of the Spirit of Sonoma award for community service.
