rg— | 11 t Bill I ' Hafley I Changes made for dry trash in Perry Landfill Listen up folks. Perry is having to change horses in the way we handle your dry trash. For five years Perry has operated a dry trash landfill on Toomer Rd. in Southwest Houston County. It was available for residents to bring their own household waste, and for contractors to dispose of debris resulting from work done in Perry. The city used the facility for burial of all the odds and ends of debris that people placed on curbside. Now all that has changed. As of April 28, the facility is effectively closed, until further notice. No more construction and demolition debris, and no more household waste can be accepted, and until some new approval is received, not even yard trimmings can be bought to the facility. Everything must now be taken to the Houston County Landfill. Waste generated from Construction and demolition work, from roofing and rug replacement, etc., must be taken by the contractors to Houston County Landfill. Tipping fee for disposal is $20.50 per ton. Perry residents are still welcome to haul their own debris, as in the past, but now it must be taken to the Houston County Landfill, instead of the Perry Landfill. The county will weigh private vehicles as they enter the landfill, but will not charge for small loads. The county landfill is located on SR 247 going to Hawkinsville. It is on the left at the 2 mile marker. The Perry Public Works Dept, will continue to collect dry trash at curbside, as in the past. However, yard trimmings, limbs, grass, leaves, etc.) must be separated from other debris. Waste should be separated into thiee piles; yard trimmings, household waste, and metals. One truck will collect yard trimmings and another truck will collect household debris, and metals. Yard trimmings will be chipped into mulch to the extent possible, while household debris will be taken to the county landfill. Metals will be stockpiled for recycling. For disposal of appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, freezers, water heaters, etc. please call 987- 1911. Efforts will be made to collect these items on Wednesdays. The changes outlined here are the result of a ddetermination by Georgia Environmental Protection Division, in the Department of Natural Resources. Perry has been directed to comply with Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Facility Subtitle D requirements or cease operations that were previously approved. The up front and continuing cost of these subtitle D requirements are prohibitive.

SUITE #205 (912) 738-9966 NATURAL GAS If you purchase natural gas from the City of Perry and should you have a gas leak in your home or business, you should immediately notify the City Hall. Their phone number is 987-1911. The gas you bum in your home or business is colorless and odorless. If it should leak it would present a hazard. Because gas is normally odorless, a special odor is introduced into the gas before it is distributed by the City. If you have ever smelled this odor, you will remember what it smells like. It is similar to the odor introduced to both propane and gasoline but is distinctive to natural gas. It is similar to the odor of rotten eggs but not as nauseating. Just remember that natural gas is safe unless, for one reason or another it is leaking into a closed area; then it is very dangerous. This City of Perry puts enough odorant into its gas to assure that you will smell the gas long before it becomes dangerous. When you smell it, however, do not waste time. Report it immediately to the City Hall. City of Perry Utility Department - 987-1911 Emergency Number After 5 p.m. For Houston County - 911 accepted at 11 million MasterCard® locations.
