Greenville, OH. September 27, 2012 What happens to the garbage in your neighborhood? Where does it go after you throw it away? What can you do to reduce the amount of trash going into the landfill? Landfills are expensive to build, take up space and pose risks to the environment, particularly water and groundwater.The Greenville Business & Professional Women’s (BPW) Club Guest Night Committee has invited Krista Fourman, Director of Darke County Solid Waste to be their featured speaker. Krista will discuss how landfills are made and what safety precautions are taken when building a landfill. To enhance her presentation, Krista will create the “Edible Landfill”. In addition to discussing the creation of landfills, Fourman will discuss some of the district’s most popular recycling events and programs. This event is open to the public. Those attending are asked to bring empty Pringles cylinders or containers and clean empty baby food jars for a Solid Waste Recycling project.
