Scope and content

Records of a recycling center established in 1981 in River Falls, Wis. by Peter Muto, a University of Wisconsin-River Falls professor, and other concerned citizens. The center, which collected aluminum, glass, paper, and recyclable cardboard, operated as a non-profit corporation until 1989, when Pierce County began its own recycling program and the center disbanded. The collection consists of a nearly complete set of minutes and financial records documenting the operation of a recycling center in a small community. Also included are contracts, the constitution and bylaws, correspondence, photographs, reports on operations, and a study of solid waste in Pierce County conducted by the center on behalf of the county.
