WMSBF July Forum: Waste to Energy & Water Resource Recovery Facility Tours

West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum will host a forum & tours highlighting the Kent County Waste to Energy Facility & the City of Grand Rapids Water Resource Recovery Facility. The first tour of Kent County's Waste to Energy facility has been a key part of an integrated waste management system that allows our community to responsibly and reliable dispose of solid waste while producing local energy and reducing the amount of waste going to landfills for nearly 30 years. The second tour of the City of Grand Rapids Water Resource Recovery facility will show guests what happens to your water after it runs down the drain, giving you an up close look at how every single day, 40 million gallons of water enters the facility, undergoes water treatment processing, and empties into the Grand River. Parking will be available at GRCC M-TEC where lunch and registration will take place. Shuttles will then transport attendees from GRCC M-TEC to tour destinations and back. Contact Carissa Patrone, cpatrone@wmsbf.org if you have any questions.
