Students will receive a bus tour of the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility. The bus tour will be presented to students by the Landfill Coordinator, Valerie Meza. The field trip is a great supplement to an in-class workshop, because students will witness first-hand that when it comes to waste, there is no "away!"
