Find out how this "green" landfill strives to find new ways and
partnerships to recycle, repurpose, and reuse materials to
keep them out of the waste stream. They capture methane
from the active areas to fuel a local hospital complex, chip
clean wood waste as an energy source for a local power plant,
collect asphalt shingles to be ground and delivered to a local
asphalt manufacturer for highway construction, collect
concrete and used blacktop to be ground up and used for
road base, and collect over 30,000 pounds of partially used
paints, household cleaners, auto care cleaners and lubricants,
pesticides and more from citizens, to be beneficially reused
again by someone else in the community.
This is a supper, (soda, beer, pizza) riverboat excursion on
the Mississippi. Come and enjoy the sites of the river from the
top deck, or from the enclosed comfortable area out of the
weather. The main purpose of this event is a social/meet and
greet with fellow WSST members and administration. Enjoy
networking as you meet fellow educators as you learn about
the river.
