Public Education Program: "Curby"
In 2010, Capitol Waste purchased a Recycling Robot - "Curby". Capitol employees present our recycling program to schools in the cities and towns which we service. The response to this program by both educators and students has been extremely positive. School Principles and children have forwarded letters in response to our presentation. Capitol Waste Services has recently recorded a recycling DVD starring "Curby" that will be available to local cable stations, schools, community events such as Earth Day.
