The San Juan County Public Works Department has set up an email news service to provide interested residents with the latest information about the upcoming changes in the solid waste system.
Online sign-up is a simple one-step process at: https://www.co.san-juan.wa.us/
Frank Mulcahy, the County Public Works Director said, “We expect this update service will help keep people well-informed as we approach an unprecedented change in the County’s approach to handling solid waste and recycling.”
The alerts will ensure that subscribers will be kept current with:
· Transition timeline updates.
· Service changes for the transfer stations or the route collection system.
· New developments in the system, such as ordinance changes and milestones reached in privatizing the transfer stations.
· Notices of upcoming special events and meetings.
· Waste reduction education opportunities and Zero Waste sustainable event assistance.
Comments or suggestions about the email service or Solid Waste communications in general may be directed to Elizabeth Anderson at elizabetha@sjcpublicworks.org.
