Thanks to everyone who participated in this weekend’s Spring Clean Events.
As some of you know, the HazMat pick up was almost too successful. With the evening drop off, the trailer was full only 20 minutes into the morning. I apologize for those that we had to turn away later in morning. This is about half of what we eventually delivered to the City, and we needed Dustin to climb deep into the trailer to rearrange boxes in order to fit what we had for our first run. We ended up filling two trailer loads of batteries, oil, paint, and antifreeze.
We appreciate all of the kind words for this event, as well as your patience and understanding when we had to turn away certain types of chemicals. I also want to thank the many neighbors who also stayed around to help me load BOTH truck loads and also caravan with me to the Hazmat site.
We called ahead to let the City know we were coming, and they staffed up to help, and as you can see below it was quite an operation.
For those of you who found more items, or who have chemicals we were not able to collect, the pickup facility is just east of I-35 on Ben White. No need to make an appointment or call ahead if you are taking your own delivery.
The other successful part of our Spring Clean was the Balcones Shred Truck. The truck was able to take in boxes and boxes of paper and shred on site while neighbors watched. If anyone missed the truck but found documents they would like to have destroyed, Balcones provided us a couple “take home” bags that can be filled with paper and taken directly to their site at no charge. I will have a couple with me at Spring Fling next weekend.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Spring Fling!
