Fremont County is again cooperating with the cities of Cañon City and Florence in a spring cleanup campaign. Distribution of free trash vouchers is again at the heart of the campaign. Beginning Monday, March 13th, a limited number of the free vouchers will be available at the Fremont County Commissioners office in Room 105 of the County Administration Building at 615 Macon in Cañon City. Cañon City residents should apply for their vouchers at City Hall at 128 Main Street. Residents in the unincorporated areas of Fremont County should apply for their vouchers at the Commissioners’ office. Proof of residency will be required to receive a voucher.
Each voucher permits the holder to haul a standard pickup load of trash to the Phantom Landfill along County Road 67 north of Florence. Each household address is limited to one voucher and vouchers expire on April 15th. You can haul household trash, yard waste, and debris but no appliances with the vouchers. The vouchers are distributed on a first come, first serve basis, and due to budget constraints the county will be unable to print additional trash vouchers this year as was done in 2005.
Florence will soon announce their own week-long cleanup campaign during which 100 of the free trash vouchers will be made available.
On April 15th only from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., RD Recycling at 1501 High Street north of Cañon City will accept refrigerators and other appliances. RD Recycling and Skyline Steel at 301 South 1st Street in Cañon City will accept old car batteries free of charge. Again this year Skyline Steel will pay a bonus of five cents per pound for recycled aluminum cans only on Saturday mornings during March.
