North Country (DANC)
Open House at
Regional Landfill August 28
Recycle or
exchange unwanted hardcover books, and help out local animal shelters at the Development
Authority of the North Country’s open house at the regional Materials
Management Facility in Rodman on August 28 from 4-6 p.m. Help the
Development Authority celebrate 40 years of serving North Country
communities!
Visitors can take
guided bus tours of the landfill and learn what happens to their waste
after they put it out by the curb or take it to a
transfer station. Guests will also learn about the many other services the
Authority provides to North Country communities, in addition to operating
the regional landfill. Exhibits and displays will feature the economic
development work the Authority does, wastewater plant operation staff
provides for municipalities, the history and future of the Authority’s
broadband network, recycling education, GIS drone work and much more.
During the last
open house when hardcover books were collected for recycling, so many
visitors combed through the books looking for treasures, this year’s event
will be a book “exchange!” Bring some books you no longer want and take
some new titles home! This recycling/exchange event is for hardcover books
only. Paperback books may already be included with your normal recycling
items, but hardcover books typically must be disposed of in the landfill as
waste. The Authority works in partnership with the Northern New York
Library System to recycle hardcover books.
In another
opportunity to help divert reusable items from the landfill, visitors are
invited to bring unwanted, clean towels and small blankets to the open
house and they will be donated to regional animal shelters.
