Zero Landfill is doing great things. Not only do they divert materials from landfill (nearly 150 tons so far), but they provide materials for use by local artists and educators in NE Ohio. Taking a look at the way that the local schools have been forced to cut back on arts programs due to budget constraints, the work of Zero Landfill takes on new meaning in context of the value it provides to our educators and our youth. I was happy to see this announcement in my inbox today about the start up of the 2010 season in Akron. So those of you with samples and assorted bits be mindful of how you can help save the planet while helping out the local arts.

I just found out about this! Darn! What a fantastic idea! Will you be coming back to Akron!
Thanks!
Zero Landfill runs every two weeks in Akron, I believe. Check their website for the latest information.
Hi Deb,
The Akron event takes place in February on 3 consecutive Saturdays. From what I understand, the Cleveland events take place every Friday throughout the summer.
Thanks for the update Kathie!
