We’re excited to welcome Kayla Casillas to the City of Torrance! Kayla's prior experience includes her work with the Upland Unified School District as a California Climate Action Corps Fellow, where she developed and implemented a compliance plan for SB 1383—a state law requiring the separation of organic waste from landfills. In her role here in Torrance, she will continue her work on SB 1383 compliance. Kayla also worked at the Disneyland Resort, where she was recognized as the 2023 Environmental Champion of the Year for her efforts in educating fellow Cast Members on proper waste-sorting procedures. As Kayla steps into this new role, she hopes to empower community members and commercial partners to feel confident that they can make a meaningful difference in protecting the environment through proper waste sorting. Welcome to #TeamTorrance, Kayla! #TorranceCA
