THE RANCH: A COMMUNITY ASSET

The Ranch Event Complex revenues come from ticket sales, concessions, and sponsorships. Profit from events supports needed facility re-investments and assures the McKee 4-H and Community Building remains a free as- set for local nonprofits and the greater community.

30,000 Horsetooth Reservoir is the 2nd busiest reservoir in the state of Colorado. In 2012, the reservoir welcomed approximately 30,000 boaters.

RECYCLING MADE EASY

LANDFILL CAPACITY & RECYCLING Recycling keeps waste out of the landfill thereby increasing its useful life and delaying the expense of building a new facility.

With a County that is larger than the entire state of Delaware, a single centralized recycling center is not a realistic solution. Transfer stations provide drop-off con- venience for the residents of Berthoud, Wellington, Red Feather Lakes and Estes Park. Being able to recycle clos- er to home encourages citizens to do more of it and it saves fuel and time. In 2012, 961.68 tons of material was recycled from transfer stations.
