Recycling 101

Pull back the curtain on recycling in our region to learn the processes, successes, and challenges of the industry.
What’s actually recyclable? What happens to all the stuff in my curbside bins? Join a WLSSD educator to sort out the science from recycling myths and explore the processes that get our waste to the right place. Engage with a hands-on engineering challenge, behind-the-scenes video of recycling in action, and Q&A with an expert. Bring an item that’s stumped you at home and find out the answers: is it recyclable or not?!
Class is free; pre-registration required.
