The Brown County Port & Resource Recovery Department is an Enterprise Fund of Brown County. The Resource Recovery area of the Department offers services to municipal, commercial, industrial and residential interests. The Department has been in business for more than 40 years providing cost-effective, efficient and environmentally responsible disposal for Brown County residential and commercial waste and recycling. The department's resource recovery operations include the Brown County South Landfill, a Solid Waste Transfer Station, a Single Stream Recycling Transfer Station, a regional Hazardous Material Recovery Facility, maintenance of two closed landfills, and coordination of household sharps and pharmaceutical collection and disposal programs. The Resource Recovery Department also provides programs, when markets are available, for recycling shingles, construction & demolition material, wood waste, tires, Freon-containing appliances and electronics (please see What Do I Do With, for information on where to recycle each of these items). These programs have been successful due to commitments to the solid waste management system through solid waste and recycling agreements with local communities and businesses.
