Dumpsters…Please don’t overfill

Attention Concerning the Beloit Rifle Club’s Disposal Service

The Beloit Rifle Club uses Waste Management Company for our Waste Disposal Service.

  • They are very picky about how the two dumpsters are filled.
    (one on the Front Range and one on the Back Range)
  • If the dumpster lids cannot be completely closed, we get charged an additional service fee on top of our normal monthly service.
  • Last month we were charged an additional $185 because the dumpster on the Back Range was overflowing.

Please do not overfill the dumpsters!

UPDATE: Parking Lot Paving – 7/8 through 7/12

The main parking lot will be paved with blacktop.

Closed from 7/8/2024 through 7/12/2024

The following areas of the club will be closed to membership:

  • Main Range
  • Indoor Ranges
  • Clubhouse
  • Archery
  • Access to the club through gate B

Gate A can be used to access the BlackPowder through the Trap ranges.

Gate C can be used to access the back ranges.
