Current Solid Waste Collection System Page 3 of 4 <br />Most trash haulers will pick up brush from residents. There may be limitations on size of <br />materials and quantities. <br />Residents in many cities /towns can take brush to city- sponsored cleanup events or in some <br />cases other specified locations. <br />Residents and businesses can take brush to transfer stations. <br />GO Tree services and landscaping films may also collect brush. <br />a Brush is usually ground or shredded and then is often used as mulch for trees and other plants. <br />Sometimes it is burned to produce energy. <br />Household hazardous waste <br />a Residents may deliver many types of hazardous household wastes to County- sponsored <br />collection sites. Both Counties provide a year -round site and several seasonal collection sites. <br />0 Residents may take items such as used oil and car batteries to various businesses which accept <br />them for recycling. <br />Some household hazardous wastes are recycled (such as latex paint), some are used as fuel, and <br />some are sent to special incinerators or land disposal facilities. <br />Bulky waste <br />If materials are in good condition and can still be used, residents may be able to arrange pickup <br />by a non -profit firm or take them to a donation center. <br />a Residents may be able to make special arrangements with trash haulers for pickup. In some <br />cases residents can bring bulky materials to city cleanup events or to transfer stations. These <br />materials are then taken to the Newport facility or to landfill. <br />.iome community clean -up events have an area for useable items for others to take. <br />Construction and demolition waste <br />Trash haulers or specific construction and demolition (C &D) haulers with roll -off boxes <br />typically collect this waste from home improvement and construction projects. <br />A significant portion of C &D waste (cardboard, sheetrock, untreated wood) can be recycled, <br />while the remainder is taken to landfills. <br />How do I get more information? <br />There are other fact sheets about public collection.
