We are inviting the community to visit and learn about the vital recycling and disposal work performed onsite while having a fun time in the great outdoors,” said Josh Daher, Meridian Waste’s North Carolina Area President. “Springtime is a wonderful season in the Triangle area, and the opportunity to celebrate both Earth Day and Easter with our neighbors and community members is a special occasion,” he said.

Free lunch for all attendees
