Tours will take place from 3:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and offer a unique opportunity to see innovative solid waste programs in action. Space is limited.

Closed Los Osos Landfill
Come see the closed Los Osos Landfill, located on Turri Road. This 25-acre landfill was active from 1958 until its closure in 1988, while the waste that was buried during its lifetime remains in place today.
The landfill was unlined, and as such presents significant environmental risks without proper maintenance. The County of San Luis Obispo manages the closed landfill site, with infrastructure in place to mitigate its impact to local ecosystems and public health. Learn about the lifecycle of a landfill and all that the County is doing to manage the site nearly 40 years after its closure, as a stark reminder that the waste we produce never really goes away.
Join us for an optional Yappy Hour at The Siren from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Connect with fellow conference participants, continue the conversation, and unwind in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're looking to network, share ideas, or simply enjoy the evening, this casual gathering is the perfect way to conclude the day's events.
