Keep North Platte and Lincoln County Beautiful

Attention: ADDED LOCATION
Residents now have a more convenient option for recycling with the addition of a new recycling drop-off site located in the north parking lot of the Public Service Building at 1402 N. Jeffers Street.

The new location was established to better serve residents on the north side of North Platte by providing easier access to recycling services while maintaining the same accepted materials and recycling procedures currently available at existing sites.
Each recycling bin is equipped with eight compartments designated for:
• Tin cans
• Aluminum cans
• Mixed paper
• Newspapers and magazines
• Plastic #1- #7
In addition, a large cardboard receptacle is available at the site for corrugated cardboard recycling.
The materials accepted at the new location are identical to those accepted at other drop-off recycling sites throughout the community. Residents seeking additional information about recyclable materials can visit www.keepnorthplattebeautiful.org/recycling. A QR code printed on each recycling bin provides direct access to the website, making it easy for users to review recycling guidelines while on-site.
The new drop-off site reflects an ongoing commitment to making recycling more accessible and convenient for North Platte residents while helping keep valuable materials out of local landfills.

Frankie the Frog left their Lilly pad today to remind everyone to reduce, reuse and recycle and to keep our world clean for all of the animals (even the snakes). The Mayor, NPHS cheerleaders, rodeo queen contestants and so many kids took part in the NEBRASKAland DAYS kids costume parade. The kids had so many hugs to share with Frankie. It was a great day to be a frog!

We love days at the river! Even though it was too deep to get in, we had a great time creating with nature and learning about the health of our river and water supply. Let's work together to keep our lakes and rivers clean.

It was a lovely evening at the GROW Community garden! KNPLCB Board Members, staff, and supporters gathered to spruce it up. They are committed to service in celebration of our Nation's 250th Birthday. Giving back to the community through small acts of volunteerism doesn't have to be time consuming. It builds pride and keeps our country clean, green, and beautiful. Thank you for efforts - it looks amazing!

We have some staggering numbers to report: Community cleanup days yielded 111 tons of trash. Crews delivered 85 roll offs to the transfer station. Just for the sake of visualization, this would fill an entire football field to the depth of 5.5 inches. We appreciate everyone's willingness to follow the rules and keep this trash out of our ditches, off of our roadways, and out of our yards. Let's keep the momentum going in creating a clean, green, beautiful community. It all starts with you! Thank you to the City of North Platte Public Service Department for all of your extra time and dedication. Those crews worked overtime, through the weekend, and in addition to their regular jobs to make this successful.
Volume: ~ 987 cubic yards
