Border 2012 Goals:

- Goal 3:
           Reduce Land Contamination

- Goal 6:
           Improve Environmental Performance through compliance, enforcement, pollution prevention and promotion of environmental stewardship

During the 6-week program, the RCBH's staff provided with an educational training on the importance of recycling to the YPIC-Summer Youth High School Student Program participants. The students learned the 3 R's (reduce, reuse and recycle) concepts, its importance, and how to include these terms at home. The purpose of the program is to understand the importance of recycling at home and the different ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. They also estimated how long some trash items last; understand the process and the environmental consequences of improper waste disposal.

RCBH conducted "Neighborhood Clean-Up Campaigns" in Somerton and San Luis, Arizona. On July 16th and 28th, 2009 a total of 5 tons of trash was collected from 6 targeted areas in the City of San Luis and City of Somerton.
