The WPWMA knows how important connecting with our community is to “talk trash.” Which is why we enjoy having a presence at community events, providing facility tours, and fun opportunities for K-12 education.
The WPWMA hosts several signature events every year including Trash Bash (a family-friendly educational event), an annual Odor Workshop, composting classes, the annual Circular Economy Innovation Competition, and more.
Look for the Placer Recycles booth and talk trash with us at local community events across Western Placer County! Be sure to follow us on social media @WPWMA and @PlacerRecycles for the chance to get “Trash Talker” shirts and reusable bags! To invite the WPWMA or Placer Recycles to your event, please email ehoffman@placer.ca.gov.
Ever wondered where your waste goes after it’s picked up? Want to see where innovations in recycling, organics recovery, and economic development are coming soon? Community members are invited to tour our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), Construction & Demolition facility, and composting facility.
There are several tour offerings including those for members of the public, school aged children, businesses, and more. Learn about all tour offerings HERE.
Please email ehoffman@placer.ca.gov for information regarding scheduling class field trips to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and other educational opportunities.
