"Waste Disposal Company Expanding Milner Landfill" in Steamboat Pilot & Today Steamboat Springs and Routt County are growing, and so is the need of its residents to throw things away. So it makes sense that Twin Enviro Services is completing construction on the next phase of the Milner Landfill, about 12 miles west of the city. Twin Enviro won approval from Routt County this year for another 68 years of operation. But the company, owned by Les Liman, also is taking steps to usher in a new era in which it does more than bury commercial and residential trash...

"Recycling Hits Home" in Steamboat Pilot & Today At first glance, it appears an older home in Dakota Ridge with ski area views is being torn down to construct someone's dream home.That is only half true.Instead of demolishing the house and hauling off the waste, the building contractor chose to hire a team to salvage as much of the home as possible... "Building Materials Take on Second Life" in Steamboat Pilot & Today A prime 10-acre lot off Anglers Drive soon will be free of an outdated 1980s-era home.

Instead, a crew of several men is dismantling the home piece by piece -- from fixtures and windows to beams and trusses -- so that the materials can find fresh life in new and remodeled homes...
