Presentations
The following presentations are available to schools and other community groups at no cost.
COVID-19 Update: All face-to-face educational programming, including Imagine Craft Mondays at the Recycling & Education Center, is SUSPENDED until further notice. You may submit a virtual presentation request.
This includes all tours of our Recycling Center, Waste to Energy Facility, South Kent Landfill, Imagine Craft Mondays/Open Hours, as well as any offsite presentations or expo/tabling events. We believe this the responsible choice to minimize risk of exposure of COVID-19 for children, families, those groups or individuals especially at risk, and our staff. We look forward to restarting these educational experiences once community spread of COVID-19 has been abated.

Watch Your Waste!
This presentation will emphasize that much of what we throw in the trash is not necessarily trash-it can be reused, recycled, or composted and we can easily reduce the amount that does go in the trash. We will also discuss how reducing, reusing and recycling can save natural resources. Get an overview of how all waste is handled with a sorting activity.
Paper or Plastic: The Great Debate
When you go shopping do you choose paper or plastic? Through a life cycle analysis of various products, you will discover what impacts each material has on the environment. Explore all facets of this debate through an interactive presentation and discussion.
