Spring Cleanup Events Scheduled

CURBSIDE:  Mon, May 3, thru Fri, May 7, 2010

On their regular collection day residential solid waste customers within Forest Grove city limits in good standing may put out up to six (6) extra bags (32-gallon capacity) of garbage at no charge. 

Items should follow the normal guidelines:

• NO construction materials, sod, concrete, asphalt, bricks, rocks, dirt, or building materials.
• NO hazardous waste; no wet kitchen waste.
• Bags should be tied securely so contents do not spill. 

The bags will be picked up by a separate truck so it may not coincide with the pickup of the roller cart(s).

Forest Grove Transfer Station, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Appliances or bulky waste (3 per customer) and tires (4 per customer) will be accepted at no charge.  Proof of address will be required.  Any questions about curbside cleanup, please contact Waste Management at 503-249-8078.

SHREDDING EVENT:  Sat, May 8

The City will be offering FREE shredding services for citizens.  Experts agree shredding is the best way to dispose of sensitive data so the City is partnering with Metro to bring this is opportunity to residents.  This onsite service will be restricted to personal documents.  Contact the Administrative Services Department at 503-992-3234 for more information.  

Special Thanks to Waste Management for providing this public service clean-up event and to Metro Regional Government for providing funds to offset disposal fees and matching grant funds for the shredding event.
