Togiak Environmental Program
The Togiak Environmental Program aims to expand the lifespan of our landfill while protecting community health and the environment from hazardous waste. Our project focuses on the backhaul of recyclable waste, including proper preparation of scrap metals and removal of hazardous materials. We plan to hire trained laborers, purchase necessary equipment, and implement training on handling and disposal. By effectively managing solid waste, we will significantly improve our community's environmental quality and reduce health risks.
