Don’t dump it – drop it.

“Chatfield partners with Olmsted County annually in September for a hazardous waste collection,” stated Chatfield’s city maintenance supervisor Brian Burkholder. He said the hazardous household waste collection held last Tuesday, Sept. 11 in the alley behind the fire hall was a great success.

The collection offered Chatfield residents the opportunity to clean out their garages and under-sink cupboards and drop off the unwanted paints and solvents for safe disposal, instead of the items remaining in their homes or being illegally dumped in ditches.

Haley Brackett’s just off Broadway and off the dial, but spot on.

“When I was little, I always wanted to be a teacher. If not that, then a singer on the radio, so at least one of those things worked out for me,” said Brackett, Chatfield Elementary’s new preschool instructor who will be teaching Chatfield’s three-year-olds how to find their voices.

Brackett graduated from high school four years ago and from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse this spring.
