Myth Busters: The Truth About What You Toss

About this event

What really happens after you toss it “away”?

Spoiler: there is no away.

Join us for a fast-paced, eye-opening Myth Busters: The Truth About What You Toss discussion where local experts break down the biggest misconceptions about recycling, waste, and excess right here in Palm Beach County. From what actually gets recycled (and what doesn’t), to where your donations go, to how much usable material never makes it out of the waste stream—this conversation pulls back the curtain on the systems we rely on every day.

Panelists include:

• Jessica Whitcomb, Manager of Recycling, Environmental Education & Marketing Department, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County

• Dino Volpi, Regional Director of Donated Goods Retail, Goodwill of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast

• Abra Joseph, Director of Operations, Goodwill of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast
