Visitors will hear a presentation consisting of a discussion and slide show that outlines the engineering, regulations, and monitoring of a modern-day sanitary landfill. Visitors will also learn how SWACO diverts materials from the landfill and protects public health. Additional discussion topics include how to effectively recycle in Franklin County, natural resource conservation, and how waste reduction and diversion can have a positive impact on the economy.
Immediately following the presentation, participants will visit the landfill working face in a bus or SWACO vehicle to observe the operations first-hand. Attendees will remain in a vehicle at all times.
