Newberry County staff recently took part in Boundary Street Elementary School’s annual “Equipment Day,” giving students a hands-on look at the work that keeps our community running every day.
Representatives from Public Works and Collections brought equipment for students to explore, while team members shared how these machines are used, what they do, and why their work is important. Students also learned about road maintenance, recycling, and solid waste services through engaging demonstrations and discussions.
Events like these not only educate students but also help inspire the next generation while strengthening the connection between our county services and the community we serve.
