TRASH TALK...
Dead Batteries Now Easy to Unload
When the energy is spent, dispose of alkaline
and rechargeable batteries at select City facilities around town. Batteries
are now considered hazardous waste and are banned from landfill sites.
To support community-wide disposal efforts, the City has become an
authorized collection facility. It’s now easier than ever, so participate
and keep your community hazard free.
Drop off locations include: City Hall,
corner of Pacific and Madison streets (646.3935); Monterey Public Library,
625 Pacific St. (646.3932); Casanova Oak-Knoll Park Center, Ramona and
Euclid avenues (646.5665); Hilltop Park Center, Jessie Street and David
Avenue (646.3975); Monterey Senior Center, 280 Dickman Ave. (646.3878);
Monterey Youth Center, 777 Pearl St. (646.3873); and Whole Foods Market, 800
Del Monte Center (333.1600).
Batteries must be placed inside the containers marked for battery
waste only and will only be collected during regular business hours. Call
ahead for hours and drop-off site specifics. Remember fluorescent bulbs also
are hazardous waste and must be taken to the Marina Landfill. Call the
Monterey Regional Waste Management District at 384.5313 or visit
www.mrwmd.org for hours
of operation.

 Outdoor
Volunteer Projects Keep Bay Beautiful
Learn about keeping our Bay healthy! Volunteers
are needed for summer water-monitoring as well as storm drain stenciling
projects. It’s a great chance to work outdoors. That pesky invasive kelp,
Undaria, is still hanging around Monterey Harbor. Volunteers can help “weed”
the harbor from the docks or if certified as a scuba diver, from the water.
For more volunteer opportunities with the City, check the Web at
www.monterey.org/volunteer
or contact Volunteer Services at 646.3719 or
