Saturday, September 19th, 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
In this nerdscursion, former speaker Jasmine Scott, and her teammates Ashley Wyland and Leslie Caplin, take us on a guided bus tour of the Pinellas County Solid Waste Management Complex.
Description:
Pinellas County manages over one million tons of garbage each year at the Solid Waste Disposal Complex! This tour provides an overview of Pinellas County’s integrated solid waste management system, including the Waste-to-Energy facility, landfill, recycling programs and the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Center. Join this behind-the-scenes tour to see what happens to your garbage when you throw it away. Learn about the County’s vision of zero waste to landfill by 2050 and what you can do to reduce waste to conserve our landfill for future generations. This event includes a classroom presentation and a guided driving tour in a van through the Pinellas County Solid Waste Disposal Complex. Participants stay in the tour vehicle the entire driving tour. The driving tour is subject to change depending on site conditions.
