From our Department of Public Works:

Public Works is happy to bring back our October Recycling Drop-Off Event. Gather up your old, important papers, old electronics, lightly used home goods, certain Styrofoam products and your wet and dry paint - and come down to Public Works, 305-307 First Street, on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm (noon).

This is a great semi-annual opportunity to clear out your house of the items that shouldn’t go into the normal trash stream and can pile up (I know I had to replace a TV that finally gave out this year, so I’ll be there). :)

AND you can check off multiple of these ‘odd-items’ that would otherwise mean running to multiple locations: GreenDrop will be there for regular donations, paper shredder for secure document destruction, clear out computers including hard drive destruction, even recycle used paint (nominal fee for this one).

Note: This is only for residents inside the City limits, and more details can be found on DPW’s related event page.

See you there!
