Meridian Waste hosted its second Fall Fun Fest on Oct. 29, saying 170 people attended at the event at the Lunenburg Landfill in Lunenburg County, Virginia, in the south central portion of that state.
Meridian, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, says a barbecue lunch, inflatable games, a bounce house, and pumpkin and face painting helped entertain children and their parents at the event.
“We are so pleased that many of our friends and neighbors came out to enjoy a beautiful, sunny October day, with games, truck-or-treating and a barbecue,” facility General Manager Joe Gustaf says. “It was our pleasure to host this event for the community and to show off our clean and green disposal facility. We featured narrated hayride tours emphasizing the many steps the company takes to protect and enhance the natural environment.”

The company says the Lunenburg Landfill also has broken ground on a gas-to-clean-energy program that will convert landfill gasses and process them into “usable energy to power vehicles and homes as renewable natural gas.”
That project is expected to be completed next fall.
