Get Ready to Clean Up the Neighborhood!

The Community-wide Clean-Up is coming Saturday, October 10 from 9a to 1p at Harding High School. This year we are going to see if we can beat our record for numbers of people participating, and amount of stuff that gets recycled (instead of being trashed!!). So get ready to clean out your basement, attic, garage, yard... well the whole place, actually!

If you have clean, jute-backed carpeting, we can recycle that, too. It needs to be rolled in sections no more than about 4 feet wide, but you usually have to cut it up to get it out of your rooms, anyway. If it is stained, or if it has foam backing, we can take it and put it in the trash, but the clean, jute-backed stuff is actually recycled to other purposes.

Remember, we don't take cans, bottles, and paper that can be recycled at the curbside. Nor do we take household hazardous waste that needs to be taken to the hazardous waste recycling place off of Pennsylvania Ave (between Rice and Jackson). And the compostable stuff is taken either to the Londin Lane Compost site or the Frank and Sims site (woody material).

But construction debris? Bring it over. Reusable furniture and kitchen stuff? Bring it over. Appliances and tires? Bring it over. And of course, fluorescent lights and electronics - we always take those.

Look for the District 1 News coming soon with details, and a flyer from us and Eureka Recycling.

See you at the Clean-Up!
