One Chance Remains To Dump Your Kids At The Landfill For A Day Camp

August 7, 2013

There are two chances left to “Dump your Kids at the Perdido Landfill for a Day!” for a one-day summer camp.

Te excursion to the Perdido Landfill allows kids, ages 5-11, to participate in fun-filled activities designed to teach the importance of the reduction of generated waste through source reduction, recycling, reuse or composting. Activities include a tour of the Perdido Landfill, recycling education, household chemical waste education, hands-on recycling projects, arts and crafts with recycled materials, games that focus on recycling and reuse as well as an eco-walk on the Perdido Riverwalk Nature Trail.

The cost of the camp is the donation of one pair of new or gently used shoes to be donated to Soles4Souls. Campers will need to bring clothes that are appropriate to play in and be worn outside, a brown bag lunch, snacks, a reusable water bottle and drinks. (Campers should try to pack a zero waste lunch which means reusable containers.) One snack will be provided at the beginning of the day.

Remaining camp dates are Tuesday, August 6 and Thursday, August 8  from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

For more information or to pre-register please contact Recycling Operations at 937-2160. Space is limited. The camp is sponsored by Escambia County Department of Solid Waste Management Waste Services.

    Has anyone ever sent their kids to this? I think learning about it is a good idea, but wonder how many children can stand the smell!
