- many more!
Here are just some of the programs offered and topics covered:

- Landfill field trips
- Environmental shopping
- Arts and crafts ideas for seniors
- Adopt-a-Spot litter cleanup
Mahoning County residents can also take advantage of:
- Green Team Composting Seminars
One of our most popular programs. We'll demonstrate the benefits of composting, show you how to get started, and also provide many of the materials you'll need. NOTE: There is a fee to attend and receive a new backyard composting bin. Call Kim Lewis at 330-740-2060 for more details and to get registered for the next composting seminar.
- Resource Library
If you'd like to learn even more about recycling and the environment, The Green Team has an extensive Resource Library. Our collection comprises books, periodicals, brochures and videos, all of which are available to the public. Call the Educational Department for more details: 330-740-2060.
- Pay As You Throw
If you’re interested in saving trash collection costs by generating less waste through recycling and composting, we have information that can help families go on a variable rate or Pay As You Throw program. Several private trash collection companies offer incentives to residents who generate less waste. Call Jim Petuch at 330-740-2060 for more details. Learn how to cut your trash collection costs in half!
