Cartons Now Accepted in Recycling!

We’re excited to announce that Woodland now accepts cartons in your curbside recycling bins! This includes cartons for beverages like milk, broth, juice, and more.

To help ensure successful recycling make sure all recycling is empty and dry by shaking out any excess liquid and replacing the cap before placing cartons in your bin just like you would for other beverage containers.

To find out what other items are accepted for recycling, visit the Waste Wizard here.

Adjust Sprinklers for Cooler, Wetter Weather

With shorter days and rainy weather ahead, now’s the perfect time to reduce irrigation timers—or turn them off completely—and adjust for daylight savings. As temperatures drop, plants need less water, and watering in the rain wastes both water and money. Consider upgrading to a Weather-Based Irrigation Controller, which automatically pauses watering when it rains. Rebates and discounts are still available; click here for more information.

Don't let FOG Dampen Your Holiday!

The holidays are a busy time in the kitchen, but remember: fats, oils, and grease (FOG) don’t go down the drain! When poured into sinks, FOG can harden and build up in pipes, leading to costly clogs and sewer backups. Instead, let fats cool, scrape them into a container, and dispose of them in your organics cart. Keeping drains clear this season helps our pipes flow smoothly and protects our water quality!
