Schools are the perfect place to instill the value of natural resources and the importance of minimizing waste. Environmental lessons can be included in Math, Science, Social Studies, Art and many other subjects. These learning opportunities can produce life-long recycling participants and future environmental leaders! Younger students often carry messages home to their parents and may motivate the entire family to recycle!

The Solid Waste Division offers tours of the landfill and recycling center as well as in-school presentations. If you are interested in touring the landfill, or if you would like an in-school presentation, please contact the Recycling & Compost Manager or phone 243.9672.
