Winslow hosts clean-up Dec. 4

The city of Winslow is hosting a semi-annual clean-up Dec. 4.

Because of landfill regulations, the following materials are not allowed to be placed in the roll-off containers: refrigerators, freezers or ice makers, tires, florescent bulbs and/or ballasts, 55 gallon drums or rail road ties, medical waste, paint, computer monitors or televisions, contaminated soil, any hazardous liquid waste, petroleum, products, or flammable liquids, any toxic substances or hazardous waste as defined by federal, state or local laws.

The city also asks the public not to overfill the roll-off dumpsters in order to make for easier disposal.
