We are looking at the option of a chain link fenced enclosure to store garbage in when the building is unavailable. It is recommended that we have another Junk Jettison day next year. This will be on the October Agenda. During power outages when compacter is down please hold off dumping your garbage until power is back on. The dump will remain open for dumping of brush. If it becomes necessary to store garbage in the solid waste building tarps should be spread on the floor to keep it clean.
