Classroom Presentations
Teachers: It is time to sign your class up for our free classroom presentations (one hour) to help your students become Master Recyclers! Presentations are available on Thursdays and Fridays from March to mid April, when we will begin our School Tours of the Flathead County Landfill on Thursdays and Fridays. On landfill tours (2 hours) your students will learn about and experience the landfill hands-on, from composting, to the proper disposal of hazardous waste, to the process of turning garbage into electricity. These free tours begin (weather permitting) in mid April and run through the end of school in June. Register for both now by calling 756-8993.
