Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Grand Island

Total Budget: $3,821

Areas of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene, Community economic development

Activity Type: Community Development: General

Summary: Clean Community Systems - digital and computer recycling efforts for Grand Island and surrounding area.


Grand Island's Clean Community System is the only regional facility of its kind in Nebraska.

CCS receives roughly 175,000 pounds of waste per year at its Betty Curtis Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Sky Park Road in Grand Island.

That waste is recycled, reused or incinerated to keep it from entering the environment.

Leading CCS and its efforts in the five-county area, our ROATY CLUB will assist in the collection of the digital recycled materials as well as sorting and preparing the equipment to be recycled. This is important to keep highly toxic and recyclable materials from the landfill. There is a large need for this service in our area and the capacity is not keeping up with the need. The grant funds will be used for marketing, sorting and transportation of the recycled materials. The event will likely take place in the mid-winter Feb - March 2022 time frame

Month of July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, and May for daily collection of electronics and TV's. A total of 12,962 pounds were collected and recycled. Marketing of the daily acceptance of electronics and TV's was done through a local radio station that reaches out to 5 separate communities. The cost to do this was $250/month. There was also cost associated with two (2) recycling guides which were mailed through the City of Grand Island monthly Utility billings. Cost to do this was $945 in March and $675 in July of 2021. Clean Community System utilized a local company E-Stroyed to pick up, sort, tear down, and ship components. Staff at Clean Community initially accepted the electronics and stored until pick-up could be arranged.
