Neebing News – May 2025 – Neebing Fire/Rescue Association

What a wonderful month! My snow is almost gone and I’m dreaming of gardening and outside projects. It may rain a lot, but we know that is good for the forest and helps prevent fires. So, I’ll put on my rain boots and poncho and head outside anyway.

While you are out cleaning your shed or garage this month, please remember: NFRA needs, and greatly appreciates, your donations of empty beer cans and bottles, liquor bottles and pop cans.

Where do your can donations go? At either landfill, look for the signs on our bins:

Your donations are collected by our intrepid ‘Tin Man’, Kris. Brought to his property for volunteers (like you, join us!) to sort. We spend a pleasant 2 hours sorting, counting and bagging beer cans for return, separating liquor bottles for return, then sorting the rest for recycling.

Here are some community volunteers at a Can Sort last year. Their donation of time enables NFRA to fund more and more needs of Neebing Emergency Services (NES). 😊

This pile of beer cans, from one sort, made $100s of dollars for NFRA to purchase tools and training items for NES.

YOU MAKE THIS HAPPEN!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Bagging your beer cans (and liquor, pop and metal cans) for NFRA’s collection is an easy way to continue to donate to support your Emergency Services, especially in these uncertain financial times. By tossing a bag or two into our bins, you are doing your part, and we greatly appreciate your donations!
