The Nebraska Loess Hills RC&D is in the process of making applications to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality for grant funds to be used to hold:

  • A Scrap Computer Collection, currently being planned for Homer in late summer or early fall, and
  • Household Hazardous Waste Collections are currently being planned for the communities of:
    1. Dakota City
    2. Oakland
    3. Wisner

Should grant funding be approved for these projects, further arrangements will be finalized and promotional materials will be made public.  The HHW collections will probably also take place in late summer or early fall of this year.

Loess Hills RC&D Scrap Computer and Electronics Collection a Success

November 21, 2014 Leave a comment


The Nebraska Loess Hills Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council recently partnered with the Lower Elkhorn NRD, Papio-Missouri River NRD and the City of West Point to sponsor a scrap computer and electronics collection in West Point at the Nielsen Center. The collection provided the opportunity for area residents and businesses to dispose of up to four complete computer systems and small electronic devices at no cost. One hundred seventy two area households and businesses disposed of items at the October collection. The RC&D was able to collect over 22,000 lbs of materials during the three hour collection. Participants drove in from six Nebraska counties to dispose of items at this once a year event. Many thanks to the volunteers who devoted time and energy to unloading, directing traffic, and handling paperwork during the collection. The collection was made possible through a grant from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality.

For more information about the collection, or the RC&D Council and its projects, contact Jean Schultz at the Nebraska Loess Hills RC&D Council office, (402)685-4020, or, visit the RC&D website at www.nlhrcd.org The RC&D Council exists to improve the quality of life in your community.
