Recycling Challenge
The Zumbro Falls Lioness/Lions are pleased to announce they recently teamed up with the Trex Company for the recycling challenge which has been in place since 2006. The object is to educate the public on the importance of plastic film recycling. When you donate your plastic film to Trex®, not only are you helping to keep thousands of pounds of waste out of landfills, you’re also helping Trex® to continue to make eco-friendly outdoor products. The goal is to collect 500 pounds of plastic in a six month period and the Lioness/Lions will in turn receive a eco-friendly bench.
Two collection containers are in place in Zumbro Falls that you can drop your plastic off. One is at the Neptune and the other at the Zumbro Liquor, located at BP gas station.
Please help us reach our goal and start saving today!

Bruce shared the following –
Today, December 31, 2021, is my last day responding to calls. Beginning at midnight tonight comes to an end of 43 years in the fire service. My mind tells me I am still 21 but my body tells me enough is enough, this has been quite a ride. I have worked and met with a lot of great firefighters a share many memories “Thank you” everyone.
This too is worth sharing, I don’t think there is a Fire Department out there that could top this one last Saturday. The Zumbro Falls Fire Department had a Retirement Party Open House to celebrate my retirement of 43 years in the fire service. Some of you might not know that I had the pleasure of delivering two babies in my career; one alongside of the road, a baby girl, and the other was in a snow storm. The ambulance was delayed getting to the address, a baby boy. This was 26 years ago and after the ambulance took them I never heard from them again. The guys on the department were able to track both of them down. To my surprise they walked in to my retirement party! I don’t care who you are, it brought tears to my eyes. To all the people who came “Thank You” and to the ZFFD “you knocked it out of the park!” What a Retirement Party, I challenge any department to top that, Lol.
