Dumpster Guidelines

To ensure everything runs smoothly, please follow these guidelines when using the dumpsters:

1. Proper Placement: Place your items in the correct dumpster. This keeps things organized and reduces confusion.

2. Avoid Overfilling: Do not fill the dumpsters to the brim. Leaving space allows everyone in the community to dispose of their waste properly.

3. Items Not Allowed: Before you head out, review the list of prohibited items. These include but are not limited to:

   • Bulbs: Fluorescent bulbs or any other lighting fixtures.

   • Batteries: Car batteries or rechargeable batteries should be taken to specialized recycling stations.

   • Wet Paint: Paint in its original can cannot be dumped. Instead, consider drying it out using sand or sawdust before disposal.

   • Electronics: Old televisions, computers, and similar items require proper returns to electronics retailers or recycling centers.

   • Tires: These need to be taken to designated tire recycling locations.

   • Chemicals: Products like pesticides or cleaning supplies should be handled according to local hazardous waste guidelines.
