Recycling and Solid Waste Education Presentations

What's the difference in a collection station, transfer station and a landfill? What can you recycle in Berkeley County and how should you prepare your recyclables? Berkeley County Recycling Coordinator Kimberly Timmons explains this and more in presentations for your group. These are great tools in the Solid Waste/Recycling education process for schools, civic groups and neighborhood associations.

Recycling & Solid Waste Education Booths

Berkeley County Solid Waste and Recycling can try to assist with your special events, including school science/career days, festivals and/or community fairs. We can provide an informational table with examples of recycled-content items, help you set up recycling at your event, or possibly even have a fun recycled art project for children of all ages.

Green Steps Environmental Education

Green Steps is an environmental education initiative that encourages individual schools to take annual steps toward becoming more environmentally responsible. Each year, participating schools work on a comprehensive, sustainable project. Mentors from the public and private sectors offer guidance in planning, executing and judging school projects. Berkeley County Solid Waste and Recycling is a Green Steps partner and can assist Berkeley County schools that want to participate.
