Community Spring Clean Up
Waste Management's partnership with the City of Forest Grove includes sponsoring a special community-wide clean up. We hope you will join us to help make our community a cleaner and better place to call home.
SPECIAL CURBSIDE COLLECTION:
Monday - Friday, April 30 - May 4, 2012
Forest Grove residents with current WM accounts may set out up to six (6) extra bags of garbage on their regular collection day, at no extra charge. Bags must be 32-gallons or smaller.
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 carts.
BULKY WASTE DISPOSAL / TIRES: Saturday, May 5
Forest Grove Transfer Station, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Forest Grove residents may bring up to 3 bulky items to the WM Transfer Station, free of charge. Couches, mattresses, appliances, etc., will all be accepted. Appliances cannot contain Freon or other coolants. All refrigerants must be removed and have attached certificate of evacuation from a Certified Technician showing refrigerant has been removed per DEQ regulations. WM will also accept 4 tires per customer. Proof of Forest Grove residency is required. No charge for bulky items or tires. Mixed loads of waste will be charged according to fee schedule.
Sorry, NO televisions, computers, or hot tubs will be accepted. Oregon E-Cycles provides free recycling of computers, monitors and TVs. Find sites at www.oregonecycles.org.
Any questions about the community cleanup, please contact Waste Management at 503-249-8078.
SHREDDING EVENT: Saturday, May 5
Council & Ash Street parking lot, 9 am to 1 pm
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 opportunity to residents. This onsite service will be restricted to personal documents and a reasonable amount per City resident (equivalent to 2 or 3 banker boxes). 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 matching grant funds for the shredding event.
