Tour Description

The tour begins at the SWA’s LEED Platinum Education Center, where we test your recycling skills with an interactive learning experience. You will have the opportunity to walk across our 500 foot Sky Bridge (please wear closed-toe walking shoes) to Renewable Energy Facility 2, where we turn your garbage into electricity. There, you will witness the awe-inspiring sight of a massive claw grabbing up to nine tons of garbage at a time.

The tour continues as you board the SWA bus for a rolling tour through the Renewable Energy Park. You will view Renewable Energy Facility 1, two Sanitary Landfills, the Home Chemical and Recycling Center, and the southern entrance to the SWA Greenway Trail System. The tour ends at our Recovered Materials Processing Facility where we see the innovative technology and manpower that sorts 100,000 tons of recycling each year.
