Check out this event in Wake County on Saturday, November 17th:



Box used to cover up a methane well at the Durham County landfill, which extracts methane from the decomposing rubbish. South Wake Landfill has future plans for this process.

We still have room available for our Wake County Solid Waste Landfill Tours this Saturday, November 17. Come get a behind-the-scenes look at where your household trash goes and see the recycling collection areas the county offers to its citizens. Tours are free and last 1-hour. County transportation is provided and all are welcome! (Children age 5 and up only please).  
The tours will be held at the South Wake Landfill at 6300 Old Smithfield Rd in Apex near Hwy-55 and US-1. Kids will play a landfill BINGO game and get prizes. (Adults will get some goodies too!)

Tour times available:
11:30am - 12:30pm
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Please email or call ahead of time to reserve your seat (vans have a 14-passenger maximum).
