hazardous waste materials to City sponsored collection events.

residents are asked to show their most recent trash bill upon arrival.
Hazardous household waste will only be accepted during the event dates and

at the collection site.
Waste should be sealed in its original container if possible, and unmarked
containers should be labeled if the contents are known.
