Presentations
The Clark County Waste Management District offers classroom presentations that focus on litter prevention and recycling.
Our signature presentation is the Keep Clark County Beautiful Skit, which targets second and third grades. Local storyteller Lisa Holmes and Program Coordinator Steve Schlather act out characters who demonstrate the good, the bad and beautiful of handling trash and caring for the Earth.
Steve Schlather also does presentations for other grade levels. The content can be adjusted to fit a class's needs. The presentations can be adjusted for grades from preschool through 12th
Tours of the Clark County Recycling Center provide a good look at one part of the recycling process. Tours are best for groups no larger than 25.
Call Steve Schlather at 521-2022 or e-mail at sschlather@clarkcountyohio.gov to schedule or for more information.
