CORONAVIRUS ALERT – Think Twice on Use of EWSWA Public Drop Offs

Attention Users – While our sites remain open, we ask that you consider if disposal of your solid waste at our site is truly urgent and that you either:

  1. Wait for your regular appropriate curbside collection to dispose of it, or
  2. Hold onto your items for a few weeks.

Thank you for your support,

EWSWA
