Keep North Platte and Lincoln County Beautiful has added a new location for citizens to drop off recyclables.

KNPLCB, Gary’s Super Foods and the City of North Platte have partnered up to provide a new location at Gary’s Super Foods, 1620 East Fourth Street, bringing the total number of drop off sites in the city to six.

In addition to the new location at Gary’s, the organization has also added an “improved” location at Westfield Shopping Center.

The bins accept plastics #1 and 2, steel, tin, aluminum, and paper.

The bin at Westfield is now accepting mixed recyclables and cardboard, meaning items will no longer have to be sorted before being placed in the bins.  However, paper will have to be bagged and cardboard will need to be broken down.

“We thank Gary’s Super Foods for letting us place a bin at this location for ease of recycling for those on the East side of North Platte,” said Mona Anderson, KNPLCB Executive Director.  “We hope all of the bins get used often and responsibly.”

Additional recycle bins are located at Mid-Plains Community College, Adams Middle School, North Platte Senior Center and First Christian Church.
