During our Feb 10th event, Rotary volunteers and city staff will remove household hazardous waste from over 100+ vehicles.
Why? Because we love our city and want to keep our environment pristine. Waste is segregated and shipped to city contractors that either recycle the waste, safely use as energy or safely dispose in accordance with EPA regulations.
We are a People of Action
This event takes place the 2nd Saturday of every month.
