Metro announces disposal voucher program changes for 2010
Metro’s disposal voucher program (which helps SWNI fund the spring and fall cleanups) has undergone changes in 2010. The program uses solid waste rate-payer funds to provide disposal vouchers to non-profit and community groups for neighborhood and natural area cleanup events. The vouchers cover the disposal costs of bulky waste and non-recyclable materials that are collected during cleanup events. The program will continue to support community and natural area cleanup events, but residential yard debris will no longer be eligible for disposal vouchers because curbside yard debris collection services are available to residents.
