The La Porte County Solid Waste District would like to thank Indiana Rep. Scott Pelath (D-Michigan City) for his support of statewide recycling efforts by speaking at the 20th annual conference of the Association of Indiana Solid Waste Management Districts. At the conference, Pelath shared his thoughts about legislation that may affect Solid Waste Districts in the upcoming legislative session.
"Representative Pelath's interest in solid waste issues is greatly appreciated. It's important for our staff to work closely with our state representatives in order to ensure the best possible recycling programs and waste education for La Porte County residents," said Clay Turner, executive director of the LaPorte County Solid Waste District.
The conference was held in Plainfield, Indiana, on Oct. 2 and 3. Pictured here with Rep. Pelath is Alicia Ebaugh, education and public outreach coordinator for the LaPorte County Solid Waste District.
