2014 Spring Clean Up

 Sunday, June 8,   9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Bluebird Lodge parking lot.

Four Dumpsters will arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. – 2 for junk/trash, one for metal, and one for wood – Please don’t come with stuff earlier than that. 

***And, as always, we need volunteers!***

To volunteer, please contact Kris Gibson at kgkeewee@nullnetzero.net or  Gretchen at gretchend@nullmac.com or call me at 442-3847. 

TRASH CONTAINER

        No recyclables.  The County pays for one of our containers, but we need to pay for one and would appreciate donations, especially from people with lots of trash!  Thanks.

METAL Container

No liquids – No fridges* – No tires on rims (just rims are ok!) – No batteries – No paint cans with paint still in them

Wire fencing and barbed wire are ok

WOOD Container

No chemically treated wood including stains and paint – No nails in the wood (although a few seem to be ok, just not an excessive amount) – No particleboard – No plywood.  Slash is ok – no longer than 18”

We will also accept electronics, and small appliances for a fee (since they will be charging us).  See http://www.ecocycle.org/charm for what’s acceptable.   And we will need some volunteers with trucks to take this stuff down to CHARM.  We will  also accept yard waste, pine needles, etc. in compostable bags.  Time to start mitigating around your homes (again)!

*For the day of spring cleanup only, freezers, air conditioners, or refrigerators will be accepted free at the County’s Waste Transfer Stations at the Nederland Transfer Station.  (Doors must be removed.)

Isn’t it amazing how stuff piles up!  This is your chance to clear it out once again!
