Kaw Nation Environmental Department purchased a commercial compactor in 2013 for its recycling center in Braman, Okla. Since June 2013, KNED has served north central Oklahoma in recycling collection. We have more than 32 customers in eight cities: Braman, Blackwell, Kaw City, Kildare, Shidler, Newkirk, Ponca City and Tonkawa. Keep Oklahoma Beautiful recognized the community involvement at the recycling center by giving Kaw Nation, the town of Braman and American Legion Post 259 the 2013 Team Builder award.
The compactor is designed to efficiently and safely compact all recyclable materials small volumes of aluminum and plastic on an ongoing basis, as well as cardboard into bales the size of refrigerator boxes.
Let’s all pitch in and keep recycling. Contact us at 580-269-1203 with any questions about what to recycle or what can be recycled. We are looking for new and exciting projects to help the environment and tribal members every day.
