Community Recycling Day is Sept. 17 in Sister Bay/Liberty Grove

The Liberty Grove Town Board and the Sister Bay Village Board have authorized a cooperative venture to increase recycling and protect the environment.

All residents, business owners or operators, and owners of property in the Village of Sister Bay and the Town of Liberty Grove are encouraged to participate in a Shredding/Appliance Recycling Day on Sept. 17. There will be no charge to have documents securely shredded or to recycle most computer components and small household appliances, but fees of up to $15 could be charged to recycle refrigerators, computer monitors and microwaves, or any other items which have a compressor or a screen. It’ll cost $30 to recycle a console or big screen TV. All shredded materials and appliances will be recycled.

Any documents to be shredded as well as any appliances or computer components to be recycled should be brought to the parking lot at the Liberty Grove Town Hall between 9 am to 1 pm on Sept. 17. There’s a limit of five Bankers Boxes to be shredded per household or business.

Due to overwhelming response in the past, persons from other municipalities will not be allowed to participate in this program.

Small household appliances as well as large appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, freezers, and washers and dryers can all be easily recycled. Other appliances that can be recycled include microwaves, garbage disposals, dishwashers, air conditioners, electronics, computer components, stereos, old copiers, fax machines and cellphones.

If you have any questions, contact the employees in the Administration Office at 920.854.4118 or the Town Hall employees at 920.854.2934.
