Site manager Bill Kootnikoff leads a group of Grade 5 students from Blewett Elementary on a tour of the Nelson transfer station. The students also visited the Ootischenia landfill and the Brilliant recycling centre to learn more about what happens to things they throw away. The field trip is part of Wildsight’s Beyond Recycling program, which inspired students to make positive environmental changes.
