Landfill Learning Center Sample Schedules

These sample schedules are meant to be a resource for teachers to plan for their own trip to the landfill.  Each schedule is different and catered to the age and size of the group.  Please refer to the Activities page for a description of each activity.

This is a schedule we used for a group of 40 Middle School Students for an all day trip.

Where there are two activities for one time period, the large group has been split into smaller groups for those activities.  When the teacher schedules the field trip, it is important to notify Keep Blount Beautiful of the usual time the students eat lunch so that can be coordinated with the landfill schedule.  There are also half-day trips and 2 hour tours available.

This is a schedule that was used for 60 4th grade students.
