How does the management of solid waste affect climate change and what is being done locally to address this issue? 
  
Guest speaker Alex Studee, Larimer County Solid Waste Manager, will provide information on the status of the Larimer County Solid Waste Infrastructure Master Plan and address the closure of the current landfill, creation of a central transfer station, the new Larimer County North Landfill and diversion of materials from the landfill.
 
He will address how these projects and services benefit the county in general – and Estes Park and its Transfer Station in particular.
