Other problems
Another problem is. people
filling the tote with rock and dirt.
If you are doing a yard clean­
up, please take the debris to Dry
Creek Landfill or drily place a
small amount o f debris in the
tote at one time.
People also put ash from
wood stoves in the totes. Please
do riot put ash in the.totes un­
less you know that it is cooled.
A couple odier problems are
that people are putting car bat­
teries in the totes. When this
h ap pen s, the b attery acid
splashes when the garbage truck
compacts the waste. Please set
the batteries by the totes but not
in the totes so that we can pick
up the batteries separately.
T he la st p roblem is that
p eop le are u sin g b u sin ess
dumpsters to dispose of their
personal trash. It is unfair to the
businesses to pay for your trash
disposal.
