StopWaste works with landscape professionals, property owners and public agency staff in Alameda County to promote Bay-Friendly landscape practices that improve soil health, reduce waste, save water, and help keep our watersheds and our communities healthy.

Landscapes designed, built and maintained in accordance with Bay-Friendly principles and practices can achieve:

• 50% water savings
• 30–70% maintenance labor savings
• 70–80% reduced runoff
• 53 tons/acre greenhouse gas reduction, equal to taking about 10 passenger cars off the road
