The department has been experiencing problems with dusty materials being discarded into the green totes; please note that “dusty materials such as wood ashes, construction dust and Floor sweepings should be properly contained (bagged or boxed) before being placed in the green tote"  This rule is to avoid inhalation of dusty materials by our employees.  Please keep their safety in mind when disposing of your waste materials.  Thank you
