Conservation through tire and electronic recycling

By Mark Sweppenheiser
Osceola-Lake Conservation District
Do you have old or un-
wanted tires or electron-
ics? The Osceola-Lake Con-
servation District is hold-
ing two separate tire and
electronic recycling events.
The first collection will be
on Saturday, July 20, from
9:00 a.m. until noon at Re-
cycle of Osceola County,
531 E. Lincoln, Reed City.
The second collection will
be on Saturday, August 10,
from 9 a.m. until noon at
the Osceola County Road
Commission north facility,
13353 20 Mile Road, Tustin.
What can be recycled?
Passenger tires on or off
rim will be accepted at no
charge. Please limit 10 tires
per vehicle. Semi tires are
$15 each and tractor tires
are $20 each. No tires over
four feet tall will be ac-
cepted. Tires must be free
of debris and water. Tires
collected will be processed
into drain field aggregate,
landscaping mulch, play-
ground cover and crumb
rubber.
Office and household
electronics will be accept-
ed at no charge. Items with
a cord (TV’s, computers,
monitors, keyboards, mi-
crowaves, phones, stereos,
game systems, printers

etc.) will be accepted. Units
containing Freon and large
appliances (refrigerators,
washers etc.) will not be ac-
cepted. Electronic materi-
als will be disassembled and
sorted into recoverable cat-
egories ready to be turned
back into raw materials
needed by manufactures.
Recovered materials include
plastics that are used to
make new covers and cases,
metals used in many new
products, and recovered

can impact surface and
groundwater. Electronics
also pose environmental
hazards. 80 to 85 percent
of electronic products are
disposed of in landfills
and can release toxins in
the air. Electronics waste
represents 2 percent of
trash in landfills, but create
70 percent of overall toxic
waste. E-waste is the fastest
growing waste stream in
America according to the
EPA. Recycling 1 million
laptops saves the energy
equivalent to the electricity
used by 3,657 homes.

Sixteen tractors drove to Reed
City High School Friday, May 3.

Driving home the importance of farming

By Victoria Martin
Weekly Voice
REED CITY —- To celebrate the kids
who work on farms, 16 Reed City Area
Public School students drove their trac-
tors to school in the first official Reed City
tractor drive.
Wanting to honor the people who make who has been participating in the last
up a large part of the community, Reed
City students started their May 3 drive
down Chestnut Street at 7:30 a.m.
“It’s a big thing in the community,” said official event.”
Reed City High School Principal Matt
Hudson. “We want (farming) to be hon-
ored and we want to honor it at the high
school.”
While this is the first official year the
high school has put on the tractor drive, it
has been a tradition for a few students to
do it each year the last day of school.
“It was kind of the senior’s joke,” said
Hudson. “They would ride in on their
lawn tractors or horses. However, this
year we wanted to make it more than
that.”
Though it may not always be the case,
this year tractors of all shapes and sizes
and students of all ages got the chance
to drive their tractors to school, said
Voelker.
“Not everyone who drove today is in
high school,” she said. “Some are young- liability. We are talking about kids
er and some are returning students.”
Hudson later said that he would like
this to become something kids look for-
ward to as they get into high school.
“I want to grow this to the point that
younger students look at this and can’t
wait to get to high school.”
Behind putting this years drive togeth-
er is Reed City senior Brooke Voelker,
day drive since her freshman year.
“We do this each year,” Voelker said.
“But this year, we wanted to make it an
Voelker said she wanted to put some-
thing together to show the community
“where the food comes from” and show
appreciation for the kids who have to
work all summer.
“We wanted to do something to sup-
port agriculture,” Voelker said. “This is
our way of showing the community that
farm kids aren’t like everyone else. We
go home and we work.” VICTORIA MARTIN
