Tours
Guided tours at Moscow Recycling and Latah Sanitation are given for community organizations and schools. The tours are designed to inform participants about local waste issues including where our solid waste goes and what waste reduction opportunities are available in our community. Long pants and closed toe shoes must be worn. If your group, organization or class is unable to come down for a tour, we are also able to come visit you for a presentation. Please call ahead to schedule an appointment: (208) 882-0590.

Waste Reduction
In 1993 Latah Sanitation, Inc. developed a proposal to the City of Moscow for a public-private partnership in funding the Waste Reduction Education Program, coordinated by a full-time educator. This community-wide public education program encourages waste reduction, recycling, composting, and the safe disposal of hazardous waste. The program targets audiences in the household, business, and youth communities through a six-part brochure series, a twice-yearly newsletter, presentations, public tours, displays, library, and announcements in community newsletters, local newspapers, radio and local television.
