reducing waste

The City of Huntsville is announcing sanitation customers will see their rates increase beginning Jan. 1. The boost will help offset expenses for the weekly collection of garbage, yard debris, empty boxes and other curbside items.

Huntsville residents might not be aware of hazardous waste in their homes. This includes things like old TVs or cell phones, batteries, paints and weed killers. These items can't be disposed of with the regular garbage collection, but the city's Household Hazardous Waste Facility can help.

The City of Auburn's spring Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day will be held on Saturday, March 23. This free biannual event gives Auburn residents the opportunity to drop off hazardous materials that are illegal to dispose of during weekly garbage collection.
