New for this event is paint disposal!  There are some requirements if you are wanting to dispose of paint.  As this is the first collection event of paint, it will only be collected Monday, April 18, from 7 am - 4 pm.  Also, Mid Valley Disposal will only accept up to 20 gallons of paint per resident. If you wish to dispose of more than 20 gallons they will refer you to a Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Location.

 

Other than for a select few items, this event is completely free for all Kingsburg residents.  All you have to do is bring proof of residency within the City limits in order to participate (utility bill or drivers license would work best).

This week in History

On March 29, 1973, the last of the remaining U.S. troops are released from POW camps in Hanoi, North Vietnam. This occurred two months after the signing of the Vietnam peace treaty that ended the U.S's involvement in the eight year long Vietnam War. The releasing of the last POW's was the final nail in the coffin. Even though there was no more U.S. military aid in Vietnam, approximately 7,000 civilian employees with the U.S. Department of Defense remained behind to aid the Southern Vietnamese.
