The Marion Ashley Education Center at Lamb Canyon Landfill 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.
