If you continue to use the kitchen pail the City distributed when the program was introduced, that’s fantastic! Many folks, however, have discovered other convenient ways to collect food scraps.

Collect food scraps and soiled paper in the pail or a convenient container of your choosing.

No plastic bags please.

Empty the pail or a container’s contents into your green yard waste cart. If the collection container itself is paper, simply drop the container into the cart.

Set Out your yard waste cart at the curb for weekly collection and take pride in doing your part to help the environment and to help Union City meet its recycling goals.

Take Pride in Participating in All of Union City’s Recycling Programs

What’s going in our trash carts?

U

nion City is sending less waste to the landfill than ever before, but we can do better! A recent survey revealed that 34% of the material in our residential garbage carts is food scraps and other compostables… “good stuff” that really belongs in the green organics cart. Trash carts also contained 9% recyclables, items that easily could have been placed in the brown curbside recycling cart.

The fact is we are still burying too many valuable recyclables and compostables at the landfill.

Please sort your garbage into th e r i g ht co nt a i n e r s a n d help us conserve resources for a healthier environment and brighter future for everyone.

Don’t mix garbage with recyclables or compostables.

The Fun Workout for Anyone, Any Age, Any Ability!

The creative geniuses at Zumba have introduced Zumba Gold. This program was designed for the older, active adult, a person who hasn't been exercising in a long time or individuals who may be physically limited. The biggest difference between Zumba Gold and Zumba basic is that Zumba Gold is done at a much lower intensity.

It's just as much fun, just not as fast! Zumba Gold utilizes the same great Latin styles of music and dance that are used in the Zumba basic program.

To get more information, please call (510) 675-5495.
