Waste Disposal Information
Please help reduce the amount of waste we dispose of
Newspapers, phone books, magazines, catalogs, cardboard, household plastics and other recyclable materials can be taken to the Recycling Depot located just north of Garden Grove Shell. Please note that styrofoam and packing materials are not recyclable; these can be put out with your household garbage.
Kitchen and yard waste can be reduced by composting instead of disposing in the garbage. Compost makes great dressing for your trees, shrubs and plants and helps the environment.
Grass clippings can be reduced by grass mulching or grasscycling, leaving lawn clippings on the lawn when mowing instead of disposing in the garbage. The grass clippings will quickly decompose and return valuable nutrients to the soil for a greener richer lawn.
Hazardous and toxic materials can be taken to the Toxic Roundup for safe disposal. Toxic Roundup is scheduled for May 15, 2010 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Town Shop located at 1408 - 13 Street.
Computer and other electronic equipment may be disposed of at e-Roundup. e-Roundup is also scheduled for May 15, 2010 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Town Shop located at 1408 - 13 Street.
