ReGen Monterey congratulates our Communications team for taking home two Awards of Distinction from the California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO) in the Photography and Public Service Announcement categories! Director of Communications Zoë Shoats and Senior Communications Coordinator Eric Palmer were on hand to accept the awards from CAPIO.
CAPIO’s EPIC Awards are the top honors for government communications professionals and 2025 had a record 500+ submissions from agencies across the state.
We submitted A Year in Photos 2024—a portfolio capturing moments from across our operations, including our landfill, recycling plant, composting yard, and renewable power plant. The collection also features staff portraits and the incredible wildlife spotted onsite. These images help us tell our story: they appear in our social media, decorate our administrative offices, and are featured in both digital and print materials. Want to see more?

Charged Conversations, our public service announcement, was also recognized in the “consultant supported” category. We worked with Very Local, Dennis Pry and Sarah Pusateri to develop a video about the dangers of improperly disposing batteries. It includes first-hand accounts and shocking footage of battery fires at our facility, which experiences at least one fire a week. We hope it will prevent more fires and risks to our staff, public infrastructure and local environment. Watch the video at www.regenmonterey/batteries.
