Ramona Disposal will not be interrupting waste and recycling service on Monday, February 15, 2010 (Presidents’ Day). Our customer service, including our recycling center and public disposal site, will also remain open.

During the week of February 15, 2010 residential and commercial customers should plan on having their waste and recycling containers collected on their regularly scheduled service day.

When It Rains... Keep a Lid On It!

During our rainy season, there are real concerns about keeping our storm drains clear and free of debris. When storm drains are blocked by debris, flooding and property damage may result. Please take a few extra precautions in the coming months, especially when rain is in the forecast, to reduce the chance of your waste or recycling containers from taking an unexpected flood-water excursion and to help prevent storm water pollution:

 • When heavy rain is expected in areas where neighborhood streets are steep, do not place waste or recycling containers where run-off water flows. For residential customers, place containers on top of the curb and not in the gutter line. 

Customers should also remember to keep lids closed on all waste and recycling containers. Rain captured in open containers can soak into materials or collect at the bottom. This water adds considerable weight to containers and may cause them to be too heavy for collection. You can also help reduce water pollution by keeping your lids closed when not in use. This will help keep waste residue from entering storm drains.
