The John Paulding Historical Society will be holding their General Meeting, open to the public, on Tuesday, September 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the museum located across the street from the fairgrounds in Paulding.
The speaker for the evening will be Shannon Ruschel, Director of the WMEA Program for Paulding County. Ms. Ruschel took over the Program in January of this year, just ahead of the onset of Covid-19. The WMEA (Waste Management Education and Awareness) Program was created in the 1980’s as a way to divert material from our landfills. Paulding County is actually part of a Four County Solid Waste District with Williams, Defiance and Fulton Counties being the other three. She will be presenting an update on what’s happening in the recycling “world” in general and for Paulding County, specifically. She’ll be discussing the 3 R’s of Recycling, the concept of “Closing the Loop” and filling us in on exactly where all of our material, that we work so hard to recycle, ends up.
Please join us for this exciting and informative meeting. Stay afterward to enjoy visiting with friends and enjoy refreshments that will be provided. Please mark your calendar and plan on attending.
