Monday Morning Memo

Household Hazardous Waste Collection
The annual hazardous waste collection day is next Saturday, October 19th.  Bring your waste to the Valley Presbyterian Church parking lot on Camino del Sol between 8:00 a.m. and noon. To reduce traffic, please try to pool your material with your neighbors'.  Besides the usual hazardous waste -- paint, herbicides, solvents, automotive fluids, etc. -- the collection also includes expired medications through the Dispose-a-Med program. A shredding service will also be provided by the GVC Community Service Committee on a first come first served basis until the truck is full. To offset the cost of this service, participants are asked to bring some non-perishable food items to benefit the Community Food Bank. Contact Joe McCalpin at 867-8067 or Pat Sharpe at 625-7716 if you have any questions.
(A reminder: you don't need to wait for a HHW event to dispose of old meds; just drop them off at the SAV office.)

Looks like the Phone Book Fairy has been at it again.  The Green Valley, Sahuarita, Tubac, Nogales, etc. Yellow Pages have been plopped on our doorsteps this weekend.  Do an absentee neighbor a favor and move their book out of sight.  They'll thank you.
