DAVENPORT, IA–Wanna see trash get smashed under 108,000 pounds? Hungry for a delicious treat, layered landfill-style? If your love for big wheels can only be matched by your burning desire to see exactly what happens to your garbage and recyclables after they leave the curb, then read on: We've got two tours for you.
Online registration is open for Waste Commission of Scott County's fall tours at www.wastecom.com. Tours are free of charge and will be held Oct. 3 at the Scott Area Recycling Center, Davenport, and Oct. 4 at the Scott Area Landfill, near Buffalo. Space is limited, and registration is required.
This fall, landfill tour-goers will get a free "trashy" treat and have the chance to check out equipment with monster-sized wheels. Recycling Center tourists will vie for green prizes by testing their recycling know-how and learn about upcoming changes to the recycling process in Scott County.
The Commission provides public tours of its facilities in spring and fall. Tours showcase our state-of-the-art solid waste programs and facilities, and educate residents about proper waste disposal.
