SHOW SOME LOVE BY THINKING GREEN THIS VALENTINE'S DAY; NEXT 'CHUNK YOUR
JUNK' EVENT HAPPENS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14
(February 12, 2009) Still looking for that perfect Valentine's Day
present? Why not give the gift of a clean garage and green environment.
The winter Chunk Your Junk will be held on Valentine's Day, Saturday,
February 14, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The location is 6616 Walnut St. Entry is allowed from southbound First
Street only. Other entries to the drop off location will be closed. For
directions to the facility, go online to FriscoTexas.gov/recycle to view a
map of the drop-off route or call 972-292-5900.
The following items can be brought for safe disposal, recycling, or
donation. In order to reduce idling time, the items are listed in the
order which they can be unloaded at the event. Please load your vehicle
accordingly:
Styrofoam and plastic bags for recycling
Cardboard
Metal and appliances
Yard waste, limbs and untreated wood for mulching
Fencing and other trash
Household chemicals (gasoline, oil, paint, pesticides, solvents and
batteries)
Televisions, computers, printers, cell phones and other e-waste
Documents for shredding
Old clothes, furniture, books for donation
The city will accept one television per household, per visit at no charge.
Televisions must have a 36 inch screen or smaller to be accepted. There is
no cost to residents, but you must show your current driver's license with
a Frisco address as well as a copy of your current water bill to prove
residency. In fact, a driver's license and current water bill are required
for all chemical, electronic and appliance items dropped off. There is
also a $40 charge for all appliances and items requiring Freon extraction.
That fee will be applied to your next utility bill.
A free paper shredding service will also be on site to safely recycle
unwanted documents. There is a four-box limit per household, with box
size not to exceed 12" W x 15.5" L x 10.5" H. We cannot accept commercial
paperwork.
Show up early! This popular program sponsored by the City of Frisco
Environmental Services Division continues to grow in popularity. In order
to provide the best service, no vehicles will be allowed in line after
11:30 a.m. to make sure everyone already in line can make it through the
drop-off stations by the time the event ends at noon.
