Keep it Green Beaumont!

I have been doing some research about what kind of green initiatives and waste management our town has and I am VERY impressed.  

I had the kids do a garbage sorting activity including where to sort:

• compost
• recycle
• bottle depot recycle
• garbage
• garbage dump (large items, hazardous waste and e-cycling technology)

The town also offers a great deal of information and support.

• Environmental Services (energy conservation, idle-free, water conservation, etc
• Environmental Master Plan (pdf)
• Kids version of the EMP (pdf)
• Curbside collection program (details about sorting garbage)
• Curbside collection program brochure (pdf)

Also have a look at these videos

• Edmonton Waste management Playlist
• Edmonton IPTF and Compost Facitlity

This video is more appropriate for grade 7 kids, not grade 4
