Northern Hills Training Center Tinton Program

The Tinton program at Northern Hills Training Center provides an employment opportunity for people in a highly supervised and structured environment.  People have the opportunity to learn important job skills in a woodshop setting. 

The program supplies stakes ranging in size from 6 inches to 4 feet long to South Dakota, North Dakota and Wyoming.  They are used by the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Transportation, the mining and petroleum industry and engineering firms. Please contact Gary Pummel pummel@nhtc.org if your business is seeking these types of products.

Other products produced in the Tinton woodshop include specialty pallets, a wedge used in the mining industry to hold blasting cable wire and battens used in the lumber industry.

The Tinton Program is also home to NHTC's recycling program. If you have aluminum cans or other aluminum materials you wish to recycle come on up to the administrative building at 625 Harvard St. Spearfish, SD. Reimbursement is based on the total weight of the aluminum and rates can vary. For information about our recycling program you can contact Gary Pumel pummel@nhtc.org or simply contact us by phone.
