Sanitation News for June and July:

  

NEW THIS SUMMER:  GET YOUR TRASH & YARD WASTE BAGS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER!

 

Effective immediately, residents can purchase the City's black plastic trash bags, yard waste bags, and yard waste stickers at the Kirkwood Community Center, 111 S. Geyer Road, during its regular office hours. Details: 

  • A roll of 50 trash bags costs $7.00.
  • A package of five yard waste bags costs $9.25, which covers the bag and the cost of disposal.
  • Stickers cost $1.50 each. Residents can use the stickers on generic (non-City) bags they purchase elsewhere. All prices are tax-inclusive.
  • The Community Center is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until noon.
  • The City will continue to sell all of the above at City Hall, 139 S. Kirkwood Road, during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.) 

City Hall and most City offices will be closed on Thursday, July 4, for Independence Day. There will be no sanitation collection on the Fourth of July. Only Thursday and Friday routes are affected, however:  Thursday routes will be collected on Friday, and Friday routes will be collected on Saturday.  


Recycling Tip of the Month

RECYCLING:  IT'S NOT JUST IN THE KITCHEN!
 

Don't forget the bathroom!  Don't trash your shampoo bottles, toilet paper rolls, or the little boxes your hand soap comes in.  These can be recycled too.  Recycle your shampoo and conditioner bottles even if there seems to be a little left in the bottom (same with lotion bottles).  Suggestion:  Keep a small basket in the bathroom next to the toilet for all those used TP rolls, and empty weekly or every other week into your recycling cart.
