The computer station also includes an activity that asks students to identify how long certain materials take to decompose. Through a series of multiple choice questions, they determine the number of days, weeks, and years it takes for an item to break down. Another feature of the Center is a special recycling truck driven by R.C. Coyote, the City's mascot. This truck is equipped with a computer that uses bar codes to provide information about a product's content and its potential to be recycled. A variety of products are on display that students can analyze using the truck's bar code scanner.
All displays are in both English and Spanish.
Recycled-content products and reused materials were used in constructing the Center. For example, a restaurant table was utilized as a computer stand and old computer circuit boards were converted into clipboards. In addition, the campaign is encouraging local agencies to partner with operators of State Vehicular Recreation Areas and other parks that permit off-roading. During the month of April, many of these parks are working with off-roading clubs and associations to coordinate local cleanups in honor of Earth Day. Such events provide local agencies with a unique opportunity to work with and conduct outreach to the local off-road community.
