reduce the size of landfills and enhance the recycling efforts in Sherburne County, further reinforcing Sherburne <br />County as a supporter, and leader, of the re -use and recycle movement. <br />Although programs to conserve and recycle have been part of Sherburne County history for <br />many decades, the recent efforts bring the past alive. The recent efforts provide an interesting story and update <br />the history to of Sherburne County to just yesterday. <br />This booklet was produced through the efforts of a significant number of individuals throughout <br />the state and county. Polly Filing and other members of the Liberty Paper staff; numerous staff members for <br />the City of Elk River, ISD 728, and Sherburne County all provided information and resources for this work. <br />These pages would not have been possible without the efforts of County Commissioner Rachel Leon- <br />ard. I suspect Rachel is a long time believer in the efforts to recycle and preserve resources for the future. Her <br />work in developing and promoting the Landfill Abatement Legacy Grant program, along with her efforts to rec- <br />ognize individuals, and county employees, who have contributed to conservation and energy efficiency show <br />that Rachel is truly a leader in the conservation, re -use and recycle programs. <br />Mike Brubaker <br />Sherburne History Center <br />September 2014 <br />
