History and Information about the Recycling Center by John Humphrey


As many residents of Kinnickinnic Township are aware we have a brand new recycling center that has been open since mid summer, 2008. This new structure replaced the old recycling center that was destroyed during a wind storm at the end of summer 2007. This storm pushed the old recycling center off its foundation and rolled it a number of times with the structure a total loss. Before the construction of the new recycling center we were using a shipping container that provided a shelter but was hard to open and since it was air tight, became somewhat of an odor nuisance during the warm weather we experienced late last summer and earlier this spring.

During the spring of 2008 the Kinnickinnic Town Board was approached by Eagle Scout candidate Brian Tallman who presented plans for a new recycling center he would build along with his Scout Troop as his Eagle Scout project. The Town Board voted in favor of this project and set aside funds for the materials needed. The new recycling center was completed midsummer and is a wonderful addition to our town. Many thanks to Brian and his troop for a job well done! This recycling center should be adequate for the needs of the town for many years to come.  It’s a wonderful addition to our community!
