This is a reminder that our Jackson Hole Community Sping Cleanup Event is this Saturday, May 10. The event is sponsored by all three of Jackson Hole ’s Rotary Clubs.
Here is a great way to clean out your medicine cabinet and protect your environment at the same time. In the past, people were advised to flush unwanted medicinal items down the toilet. As we now know, this is a poor method of disposal since it contaminates the environment. So, let the Jackson Police Department safely dispose of these items for you by simply stopping by the Town Square . The Jackson Police Department will be collecting syringes and any medicinal products that are unused or out-of-date from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
If you have already completed your own spring cleaning (and disposing), then grab a pair of gloves and head on over to the Town Square (at 9am ) for a Community Cleanup assignment. Animal lovers can join the Bridger-Teton National Forest and PAWS, the Animal Adoption Center , for “pooper-scooper” detail in the Snow King Area and along Emily’s Pond as well as the Cache and Game Creeks. Following the cleanup there will be a barbeque lunch, activities and music form 11:30 – 2:00 which will be held at the Town Square for all participants.
If you need further information regarding medicinal disposal please contact the Jackson Police Department at 733-1430. Please leave all medications in their original containers.
You can refer to my previous blog, “The Snow is Melting”, for more information on the cleanup and disposal of hazardous items in the Jackson Hole community.
