Programs & Tours

The Black Hawk County Solid Waste Management Commission’s educational outreach is provided through the Waste Trac Education Team, with programs and tours for youth, adults, and the general public in Black Hawk County.

 

Making Connections

The Commission strives to educate the citizens of Black Hawk County about the connection between the choices people make in their daily lives and the impact of those choices on our environment. Through the Waste Trac Education Team and corresponding partnerships, the Commission encourages residents to reduce the amount and toxicity of materials entering the Black Hawk County Sanitary Landfill. Along with many other outreach duties, the Waste Trac Education Team provides solid waste related educational programs and tours.
