"Rural Alaska Landfill Operators "
Bethel - May 5 - 9
The Alaska Chapter SWANA and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation established the need for, researched, developed and, with the assistance of the Alaska Forum, published the Rural Alaska Landfill Operations (RALO) Course.
 The RALO Course is for the designated landfill operator in a village with a Class III landfill or open dump. The RALO focuses on the duties of the landfill operators, their personal safety and the safety of their community. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of the landfill operators' roles and responsibilities in keeping the community clean and the landfill free from harmful substances. Participants will learn about landfill regulations and requirements, proper landfill practices, household hazardous wastes, waste separation and screening, waste reduction and segregation, recycling, personal protective equipment, and much more.
The Alaska Chapter will present a RALO Training Certificate to each participant after completion of the course. Rural Alaska Landfill Operations Course Outline
