Guests enjoyed the free event, including waterslides, bounce houses, games, and a complimentary lunch. Activities included Meridian Waste’s signature Touch-A-Truck display with participants appreciating a variety of trucks and heavy machinery used in the environmental services industry.

“Summer brings many simple joys of spending time outdoors, and we’re happy to open our Environmental Park for the local community to see what the landfill really looks like,” said Area President Josh Daher. “We have a lot of clean, green space which is perfect for lawn games and a summer picnic. We were very pleased to share the wonderful day with our neighbors,” said Daher.
