Garbage Garage Open House


I have been a big fan of the Garbage Garage since before we moved to Fort Collins. This Education Center, located on the outskirts of the Larimer County Landfill, teaches kids and adults about reduce, reuse and recycle in a fun and creative environment.

They will have their annual open house this Saturday from 10:00-2:00. Fun, popcorn and drinks, games and giveaways await visitors on May 9. Local magician Cody Landstrom will be returning by popular demand. H2O Joe and his side-kick Flo will make their first ever visit to help you learn how to protect water quality, Cedar, the Doggone Green Crusader, will share tips for helping you learn how to track your pet’s “eco-paw print.” Artwork by student finalists in the 2009 “Trash to Art” contest will be on display and visitors are invited vote for their favorite artwork with winning entries being on display for a year. All activities are free.

The Garbage Garage is located at the Larimer County Landfill on South Taft Hill Road, Fort Collins, about two miles south of Harmony Road. Those who can’t make it to the open house but want to check out the Garbage Garage at another time should call (970) 498-5772 to schedule a free tour, or drop by during regular hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.larimer.org/solidwaste

Hope to see you there!
