The City of Santa Maria unveiled a new sculpture to encourage recycling at the Hagerman Sports Complex on Thursday, May 12^th.

The colorful and functional sculpture depicts the theme of the ballpark with design elements that include a hitter, softball player, mitt, and ball. This piece encourages residents and visitors to recycle their bottles and cans by “pitching” them inside the sculpture, with the goal to fill it up.

This one-of-a-kind exhibit continues the City’s messaging to the community about recycling with intention. The Utilities Department funded this custom piece via a Cal-Recycle grant. The sculpture is a collaborative project between the Utilities and Recreation and Parks Departments.

The sculpture was created by local welders Jeremy and Tammy Mogavero based on a conceptual design from the Utilities Department.
