Our History

Windsor Barrel Works was established in 1983, by Mr. Philip Haas, at a time when recycling was beginning to emerge as a significant, and in some cases, mandated, component of solid waste management.  Philip had always been interested in the environment and spent most of his summers during high school and college working at a hawk sanctuary as an education coordinator. While there, he wanted to educate visitors on all aspects of the environmentally sensitive area, especially keeping the grounds clean through recycling and trash collection.

While the focus of recycling was on household or “curbside” programs, people would need to be encouraged and reminded to recycle when visiting public spaces. He did maintenance on the nature trails and realized he could combine education and recycling by using the trash bins as tools.  He felt that if recycling and trash bins were more attractive, people would be encouraged to use them. Using post-consumer, recycled plastic and aluminum and steel, Mr. Haas created functional, stylish, and practical designs that are in use in communities throughout America and overseas under the Windsor Barrel Works brand name.  The company was incorporated into Kettle Creek Corporation in 1992.

In 2012, Bonnie Haas, became President and CEO of Kettle Creek Corporation & Windsor Barrel Works. She holds certifications as a Woman-Owned, Small Business Enterprise, has participated with various programs with the SBA ( Small Business Association), and achieved certifications in manufacturing, leadership, recycling, and gardening. Bonnie Haas has been an RN for almost 40 years and home schooled 3 of her 4 children and loves to volunteer teaching children and adults about gardening, nature, and animals. She is thrilled to be an owner of a Llama, two Alpacas, numerous chickens, two turkeys, two ducks, a peacock, and of course, a dog, cat and parrotlet!
