Crow Wing County continues to exceed the state minimum recycling rate of 35%. Overall, almost 900 tons of material were recycled through the County Recycling Program last year with approximately 29,000 tons recycled through residential and commercial recyclers.
“We are exceeding state standards, increasing recycling, and reducing the amount of material being placed in our landfill,” stated Jessica Shea, Crow Wing County operations manager, in a news release. “Proactive efforts by the county, local businesses and local waste haulers were effective by capturing recyclable materials and keeping them out of the landfill.”

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
