Good morning Countywide Disposal Customers,

Good morning Countywide Disposal Customers,

Earth Day has passed but we should practice these safeguards daily. Let's help keep our environment clean and free from litter and debris.

Please remember to bag your loose garbage before placing it in your cart. Bagging the garbage helps in several ways:

* Keeps vermin and rodents out of the trash.
* Cart dumps cleaner at the road with no spillage.
* Helps haulers keep the garbage in the truck.
* Keeps trash from blowing in neighborhoods and reducing litter.

Thank you everyone for your help to keep the community clean!
