Fremont County, local municipalities, and area businesses are cooperating again this year for the annual spring clean up campaign. The heart of the campaign is distribution of free trash disposal vouchers to citizens. Each household is allowed to pick up one free voucher on a first come, first served basis. Each voucher allows a person to haul 2 1/2 cubic yards, or a standard, level pickup load of trash to the Twin Landfill along Phantom Canyon Road or to the Fremont Disposal Transfer Station at 1639 Mariposa Lane south of Canon City.
Residents who live in Canon City should pick up their free trash vouchers at City Hall at 128 Main Street while all rural Fremont County residents can pick up a voucher at the Fremont County Administration Building at 615 Macon in Canon City. Citizens must present identification when getting a voucher. The vouchers expire April 14th.
The City of Florence will distribute vouchers at the Florence City Hall during their clean up week from April 23rd through the 28th.
The vouchers allow disposal of household trash, furniture, construction debris, brush, leaves, and yard waste. No liquid or hazardous wastes, tires, or dead animals will be accepted with the free vouchers.
Old appliances and refrigerators, and old car batteries can be taken to R.D. Recycling at 1501 High Street north of Cañon City and disposed of free of charge.
Skyline Steel will purchase scrap iron, appliances, car batteries, copper, aluminum, and brass at prevailing rates. Refrigerators must be evacuated of all coolant. Skyline Steel will also pay a bonus of five cents per pound on all aluminum cans taken to their yard on Saturday mornings through April 14th. Skyline Steel is located at 304 South 1st Street.
Hazardous wastes cannot be disposed of at any of the locations. A special hazardous waste recycling day is being planned for Saturday, April 14th, by the City of Canon City and the Upper Arkansas Council of Governments Recycling Program. More details on the hazardous waste recycling will be announced later.
