Our programs ARE AIMED AT reducing the IMPACT
of single-use plastic and enabling children
to live healthy, eco-friendly lives. 

Water Stations 

Clean, free drinking water for every student

The Rob Machado Foundation donates water filling stations to schools so that students have access to clean, filtered water without having to purchase single-use plastic water bottles. The Water Station program is a fantastic opportunity to engage your school in an environmental program that will positively impact them every day. Please fill out the downloadable form if interested in applying for a water filing station for your school.

BEACH CLEANUPS 

A COMMUNITY EFFORT TO PROTECT OUR BEACHES

We host monthly beach cleanups at Seaside Beach. We welcome corporate groups, school clubs and individuals to participate.  All events are posted on our social media so please follow for up to date information. It's a great way to engage with your local community and RMF!

TRASH INNOVATIONS

KEEPING LITTER OUT OF THE OCEAN WITH COVERED TRASH CANS.

When Rob founded this program, local beaches were riddled with litter due to disintegrating trash cans. The trash that seagulls were taking from the open-top cans was eventually ending up in the water. RMF provided secure, covered cans to Seaside and Cardiff state beaches with the goal of expanding to other beach communities.

RECYCLING SYSTEMS

DURABLE RECYCLING BINS IN HIGH-NEED SPACES.

Our recycling program started after we realized that many of the schools' athletic fields had neither trash nor recycling bins. After weekend sports games, plastic bottles and other litter was often scattered across the fields. RMF sourced bins made from 95% recycled materials for several school fields, and have expanded the program to solve recycling needs.
