Ricco
the Recycling Robot is the cornerstone of the East Arkansas Regional Solid
Waste Management District’s education program. Ricco provides information,
in a manner that is both entertaining and relevant, to the general public.
Special emphasis is given to presentations in area classrooms, on the theory
that the best hope for future recycling awareness lies with the youth of
today. Topics discussed include:
recycling
reuse
waste reduction
illegal dumping
waste tires
landfills
The objective of this educational outreach is to show the general public
how each of these elements impact our lives and behavior. Ricco has appeared
throughout the state of Arkansas, speaking to schoolchildren of all ages.
He has visited trade shows and festivals in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Texas.
