The visit to the Wayne Township Landfill allowed members to experience sustainability in action. Members were introduced to the management team of the landfill and interacted with government representatives throughout the tour. Students were able to realize the procedures and conditions that landfills operate under, as well as how the landfill is able to serve the surrounding communities. The bus tour stopped at the landfill station, recycling plant, mulching operation, and leachate gas facilities. Students learned not only about the science behind the landfill, but also realized the economic factors that drives the decisions of management.
