Please help us welcome Bryan to the City of Elk Horn Public Works Department!

Bryan joins us with prior city experience from Omaha and has already hit the ground running. Talk about timing—starting a new job during Tivoli Fest week is certainly jumping right into the deep end! 😅

When he’s not working, Bryan enjoys spending time with his family, raising his farm animals and fishing!

We’re excited to have Bryan on the team and look forward to all he’ll bring to our community.

Welcome Bryan!

Did You Know We Have a Can Donation Box!

Located right at the entrance to the bus barn in Elk Horn is our can and bottle donation bin, which helps support our local class’s trip to Washington, D.C. every 3 years. The students sort and process all of the donated cans and bottles, and the proceeds go directly toward funding their trip.

A friendly reminder: this bin is for redeemable cans and bottles only. Please do not place household trash or other recyclables in with your donations.

If you’re able, an extra step that really helps the students is separating cans from bottles before dropping them off.

Thank you to everyone who donates and helps support our students. Every bag makes a difference! 🇺🇸🥤♻️
