The River Falls Recycling Center was established in 1981 through the efforts of Peter Muto, a University of Wisconsin-River Falls professor, and other concerned citizens. Muto served on the center's board throughout its existence. The center served as a collecting point for aluminum, glass, paper, and recyclable cardboard. In 1986 the center contracted with Pierce County to provide recycling services to the entire county. In 1989 it disbanded after the county began its own recycling program.

The collection consists of a nearly complete set of minutes and financial records documenting the operations of a recycling center in a small community. Also included in the collection are contracts, the constitution and bylaws, correspondence, reports on operations, and a study of solid waste in Pierce County conducted by the center on behalf of the county.
