Milkhouse Candles smaller factory in St. Ansgar where they make about 6,000 candles per day.
North Iowa Landfill, south of Mason City, where all the garbage from the city of Northwood, including NK schools and other surrounding communities bring tons of garbage per year.
Students brought used graphing calculator batteries there for recycling, and learned about all the other toxic items that can be brought to the landfill, and saw what products can be picked up for use, for FREE.
Despite being rainy in the afternoon, the whole day was very interesting, educational, and a good time was had by all!
DeAnna Banwell led the tour in New Hampton and gave the students each a candle.
