Have you ever stood with your hand hovering over the trash, unsure if the item can be recycled or composted instead? 

Do you get dismayed because there’s no recycling or compost pick up at your home or workplace?

Have you read up on green living and waste systems, but you don’t know exactly what is (or isn’t) happening in your community?

Come to this conversation with local experts to understand what happens to your trash here on the North Shore, and how you can be a better steward of the Earth with simple changes. 

Experts from our local composting, recycling, and trash processing systems will explain what happens to the stuff we throw away, and share best practices for healthier waste management for your household, apartment, condo, or dorm—including ways to avoid waste in the first place.
