The class will present a brief history of the disposal of trash through time, regulations affecting the disposal of trash, and the history of the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (landfill). Learn about the recycling and diversion of wastes from the landfill, landfill operations, monitoring, amounts of waste disposed, as well as effects of disasters, electrical power generation, equipment used, and the future of landfill and related topics.
Bring walking shoes (no sandals), sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and water as the majority of class will be outside to allow observation of landfill operations. You may also bring a folding chair and clipboard. Please register for only one section.
