The Marion Ashley Education Center at Lamb Canyon Landfill is reopened for spring season tours this week, the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources announced.
Groups can book their free, behind-the-scenes look at modern landfill operations and learn about solid waste management and recycling by submitting an outreach form at rcwaste.org/community-outreach/education-center.
The minimum number of participants is 10, and the maximum is 42, according to the department. Participants must be 8 years old or older to attend.
Tours are available Monday through Thursday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. upon request, but tour availability is subject to scheduling constraints.
The department offers a variety of free environmental education classes related to waste-reduction and sustainability.
Class instructors provide attendees with professional learning and instructional materials that demonstrate environmental waste-related themes such as composting, recycling and green cleaning.
More information on the classes is available at rcwaste.org/community-outreach/free-classes.
