Day five: all good things...

On the last field day of the course, to see how waste is handled in the Oulu region, we visited the Rusko waste management facility.

There we first listened to a presentation about the facility, after which there was a tour.

The photo on the right is from the biological waste processing unit, where biodegradable waste is turned into soil.

The rectangular formations of rubble on the left are storage for hazardous waste.

The highest point of Oulu resides in Rusko, on top of a retired landfill.

A view toward the town from the top of the hill.

There were a lot of gulls throughout the facility area.

More gulls.
