Dumpsters in the Downtown Area:

Many of our dumpsters have been fitted with locking castors to prevent them for rolling out of place or being easily pushed into traffic.  If you have a need for locking castors please let us know at HQ.  Additionally, many dumpsters have been fitted with locking lids and it's important to keep these lids closed and locked, this is a great way to add some security, prevent illegal dumping, and also decrease the litter in the alleyways.  Call the customer service number on your bill to add this option.  As the weather turns cold, people seek shelter in the dumpsters.  Please report any issues and contact WM for solutions.  Lastly, please check inside and around your dumpster regularly and keep dumpster lids closed and locked on non-service days. Thank you.

Our Goal:

The purpose of this newsletter is to be transparent and open about our plans for this large-scale infrastructure investment with the downtown stakeholders.  We recognize the potential for economic growth that could result from a project of this magnitude, but also the challenges that come.  Additional details on any of the above referenced items are on file at HQ at 119 W. Main or on our website. Feedback is always welcome and participation is always encouraged!
