A big thank you to Henry Buhr and his crew, other City of Gering staff members that assisted, Clarence Rotherham and his City of Scottsbluff Environmen
tal Services Staff, CERT volunteers who helped with traffic control, and Kathy Kropuenske from Keep Scottsbluff-Gering Beautiful for getting the word out.
Also, if you didn’t hear, for the Electronics Collection on April 18th, 84,653 lbs of electronics were collected. That is three full semi trailers and two full 24ft straight trucks.
