Education
The Pitt County Recycling Coordinator works closely with schools to set up in-house recycling programs and educate all grade levels about the importance of the three R’s.
Pitt County Recycling Coordinator Paula Clark conducts classroom presentations about recycling and other environmental issues. Through these presentations students can come to understand the problems associated with solid waste and how they can contribute to environmental solutions. Contact Paula at 252.902.3353 or email her to schedule your group for the presentations or if your group would like to tour the Transfer Station and get an up close look at how we handle waste in our County.
Presentations are not limited to classrooms. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Civic groups, clubs, summer programs/camps…schedule a presentation for your group as well.
