RVUUFians, do you have any hazardous waste to take to the annual Hazardous Waste Drop-off on May 7? Cost is still only $5 per household. Why $5 per household? It actually costs Rogue Disposal $100 per household on average to properly dispose of the materials. Some of it is shipped to locations across the country to disposal sites for that specific material.

The EarthKeepers are offering to haul your waste for you if you bring to RVUUF Saturday morning between 9 and 10 a.m. and pay your $5. (if you need to make special arrangements for a drop-off prior to that time, use RVUUF’s contact form to connect with contact Linden Crouch.
