The Otter Tail County Solid Waste Department
has developed a new program for youth organizations
in Otter Tail County. The new program, Youth
in Action Recycling Team, is a hands-on recycling
program that earns community recognition and
money for youth organizations.
Each Youth in Action Recycling Team will be
selected by the Solid Waste Department through
a simple application process. Applications
are available from the Solid Waste Department
at 1115 N. Tower Road in Fergus Falls.
Once the Youth in Action Recycling Teams are
selected, each team will be responsible for
maintaining one of 24 canister sites throughout
Otter Tail County for one year. In addition,
the selected Youth in Action Recycling Teams
will be responsible for encouraging recycling
in the community where the canister is located
and will educate the community about what
is and is not recyclable in Otter Tail County.
The Solid Waste Department will provide training
to those youth groups that have been selected.
Youth organizations that are selected for
the Youth in Action Recycling Team will benefit
by becoming educated about recycling and how
it helps the community. The Youth in Action
Recycling Teams will receive community recognition
and earn $250.00 per year.
If you are interested in the Youth in Action
Recycling Team Program, please contact Jessica
