Free Waste Characterization Training

[NaepcA1]

REMINDER and UPDATED AGENDA for the training attached below.






Hello Region 9 Tribal Environmental Directors and Staff,

On Tuesday, November 13, 2012 the Sherwood Valley Environmental Department will host a free WASTE CHARACTERIZATION TRAINING! An EPA contractor will lead participants through both classroom and field activities to conduct an effective solid waste characterization. Waste Characterization is essential in developing a comprehensive Integrated Waste Management Plan. During the training participants will learn how to collect meaningful data to improve tribal solid waste management. This course is ideal for tribes who are in the process of developing or updating their Integrated Waste Management Plan, including tribes who are interested in developing or updating their recycling program. The training is free of charge.

Space is limited and available on a "first come, first serve" basis. Please note that anyone who participates is required to provide and wear their own safety equipment: steel-toed boots, safety vest, hard hat, work gloves, and safety glasses for the training. If you would like to take advantage of this training opportunity, please email me back as soon as possible.

Sherwood Valley Tribal Office Community Center
190 Sherwood Hill Dr.
Willits, Ca. 95490

Date: Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Time: 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
