Amador County – The Vicini family of Amador County last week announced the opening of their sons’ green material recycling operation on Willow Creek Road. The Vicini Brothers Green Waste Recycling Facility opened the first week of July. Kathy and Merv Vicini said their sons, Tony and Rick Vicini opened and will operate the facility. Last week, the brothers told about a posted “link to a slide show of our first days of the Vicini Brothers Green Material Recycling project.” Kathy Vicini, in a letter to District 1 Supervisor John Plasse, said the Vicinis wanted Plasse “to see the results of all (his) work and great support.” She said “not only is ACES (Waste Service of Pine Grove) hauling into the plant,” but the California Department of Transportation is “bringing their roadside brush trimmings to us now.” Vicini said “if things work out right, (CALTRANS) will be buying the brush back as chips for highway landscape mulch,” a “win-win” for the Vicinis and CALTRANS. She told Plasse that the Vicinis “truly appreciate” all that Plasse has done to help them with the venture. As part of the opening of the business, Vicini Brothers plans a demonstration 10 a.m. Tuesday at the facility. Kathy said “they are bringing in other equipment and they are going to show chipping and shredding and the making of green material.” She said the facility takes all manner of grown, green waste, and the public will be able to drop all yard waste, weeds and brush, for a load fee, which has not yet been set. Vicini said “We run it all through a mulching ‘beast’ – a chipper-grinder that chews up all of the material.” They take only green things, things that were grown, such as trees, brush, grass, and flowers. She said there will be a fee for dumping, then people “will be able to buy compost and mulch, when we get our supplies up.” They just opened the first week in July and were taking material loads from ACES, Waste Connections of Ione, and CALTRANS. The public is invited to the Vicini Brothers demonstration, 10 a.m. Tuesday (July 14th) at the facility, at 15850 Willow Creek Road, about half a mile off Highway 16, west of the Highway 124 intersection.
