Oh oh.

so in Dubois County, where where we are right now, this is our process center.

it's kind of, site for all the oddball items.

So we take all the electronics, we take appliances down to, coffee maker all the way up to a refrigerant based, refrigerator.

We can take all of that stuff.

Any electronics, we take chemicals, paints, fluorescent tubes.

We have a large item dumpster for those items that can't be recycled.

And then, of course, if we see something going in that dumpster that we think can be reused, we have our last chance corral right here, which is for those sort of last chance items that we pull, so they don't go in the dumpster, don't go to the landfill So last year, we, diverted 2,000 pounds, a ton of stuff out of the landfill or out of the dumpster through our our Last Chance Corral.

You guys have tires?

Yes.

We do have a tire grant going on right now.

And we can take tires free probably till the end of the year.

How many?

As many as you got.

Really?

Yeah.

but I mean, anything can be on the rim if it needs to or whatever.

So we take those, we usually take those.

We usually charge $50 a piece for them.

So that's what our vendor charges us with this grant.

This is an IDEM grant.

They just released this for the first time this year for solid waste districts.

But with this, I'm just super excited.

And I was so excited to tell our farmers and our land managers today.

If you have tires, bring them now.

So in their goodie bag, they each got a flier about our tire grant, even the big AG tires.

We will be able to take for free for this grant.

So that can be wonderful for somebody who's been holding on to several tires in their barn.

In addition to being an environmental hazard, it can be a real fire hazard We hope to have that going on basically through the end of the year, this is our ag recycling.

Our agricultural recycling day.

We hold this event one day every year for our farmers to be able to recycle, And we have, folks that come every year and they really look forward to it.

They like doing their part.

it's a day set up specifically, for farmers, homeowners that want to bring in empty chemical or fungicide containers, to recycle so they can, you know, so there's reducing our environmental footprint.

An awesome thing they do.

They take everything free of charge and and utilize it for recycling.

The pesticide, because we don't like them to, go with the, regular residential recycling, just because of the, you know, that possible pesticide residue, etc.

even though the jugs are triple rinsed, they weren't really food grade or there wasn't food in them.

So that's why we do it once a year, and we work with one of our local recyclers to take that and get it recycled right away.
