This year?s 8th Annual Temescal Valley Community Faire was filled with music, food and the opportunity to learn about Temescal Valley?s history. For us, it was an opportunity to show off all the great projects that are taking place at the El Sobrante Landfill, such as our gas-to-energy station that generates 3.84 megawatts of electricity ? enough to power 6,000 homes. Also on display was a Volvo A35D haul truck ? both kids and adults enjoyed climbing the 50,000-pound monster machine that hauls dirt around the landfill.
We also invited our falconer, who helps control the bird population at the landfill for part of the year. He exhibited two highly trained falcons that star in Hollywood movies in their spare time. Visitors picked up native seed packets that were collected from our 600-acre wild life preserve, as well as our reusable WM grocery bags.
If you missed the faire this year, definitely look out for it next fall and don?t forget to stop by our booth to say hello.
