In partnership with the City of Maryland Heights, Waste Connections is proud to present Waste Connections Sustainability Campus. As a leader in sustainable waste management, Waste Connections Sustainability Campus serves the Maryland Heights community by transforming waste to energy, promoting environmental responsibility, and fostering a culture of innovation. Here at Waste Connections Sustainability Campus, we have a 5-acre plot of land with two active greenhouses, three thriving bee hives and soon to be a beautiful nature trail surrounded by colorful native flowers and grasses that goes right past our bee hives. Our trail will have an overlook providing an excellent area to view all the active work taking place at Champ Landfill and the North Quarry.

The Sustainability Campus fosters a collaborative environment for sustainable solutions, empowering our community through education, resource management and innovation. Our Sustainability Campus offers a multitude of interactive education programs, tours, seminars, and workshops open to the public of all ages. Our educational programs are centered around environmental sustainability, and the role Waste Connections plays.

Our Sustainability Campus has two greenhouses. One of which contains a classroom with an aquaponic and hydroponic set up where the students from the neighboring Pattonville Highschool conducts their Applied Science and Technology classes. This greenhouse provides students with unique hands-on education as they get an in depth understanding on the positive effects of greenhouses, sustainable practices, and renewable resources. The knowledge gained from this greenhouse will work to empower students improve the environment in and around the Maryland Heights Community.

The Sustainability Campus is a collaborative environment open to all members of the public. Our interpretive center, meeting spaces and outdoor pavilion provides a space to host groups of all sizes as well as a space for the community to participate in one of our many interactive educational programs at no cost. We are here to build a sustainable future for our Maryland Heights community.
