Keep a close check on that pile of ashes!

Feb 23, 2023

A reminder that it is forbidden to dispose of wood stove ashes at the green waste collection site on Titus Road. A fire recently broke out there for this reason.

If not completely cooled, ashes are a major fire hazard, both in your home and in the truck that collects your trash.

To properly dispose of wood stove ashes, place them in a closed metal container outdoors for at least 14 days before putting them in your trash bin.
