Raising awareness of waste managementIn the green building of the Pierce County Environmental Services Division, visitors learn about the environment and the Division’s valuable waste management services. The 900-acre site, once an old gravel mine, is being reclaimed and renovated to include a golf course, arboretum, environmental education center and sports fields.
