It's almost time for spring cleaning! Remember, when you clean out the garage, make an appointment at our HHW collection facility to bring in chemicals and materials that are Too Toxic To Trash. In addition to cleaning out the garage, why not clean up a little around the neighborhood? Try organizing a neighborhood cleanup, and get it posted on our new webpage, Spring Cleaning SMC! Events will begin to be posted during the week of February 13.. If you would like your cleanup event posted, please contact us at pollutionprevention@smcgov.org. Spring planting season is coming!
