The 1-2-1 Regional Disposal Facility hosted the annual TxSWANA Road-E-O this past weekend. More than 100 solid waste professionals came to Melissa, TX to compete to see who would walk away with a belt buckle.

The NTMWD crew cleaned up, with 13 participants placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, along with all three Top Gun prizes.

Thanks to the support and hard work of TxSWANA, the competitors, their supporters, and our volunteers for a successful event.

As American Wetlands Month comes to a close, we're back at the East Fork Water Reuse Project to learn more about one of the largest constructed wetlands in the country. A reservoir's worth of water is naturally filtered by plants before it is pumped back to Lavon Lake, our primary water supply. 💧

Visit the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center to find out more about the wetland and all of the wildlife that makes it their home.🦅

*Correction - there is an entrance fee for people 13 years of age and older. These fees help the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center fulfill its mission to educate the public and provide research opportunities in the areas of water reuse, quality and supply, wildlife conservation and wetland systems.
