PITTSBURG, Kan. — The SEK Recycling Center in Pittsburg has launched its next fundraising effort with assistance needed from the community to acquire a new recycling baler. “Last year, we got a grant from Pritchett for $55,000 towards the baler. (The current) baler is over 25 years old and we’ve got it used,” said SEK Recycling Center Development Coordinator Janet M. Hula.
