1) Move out tips from the city
(Lawrence, Kan.) - July and August are peak months for moving out of apartments and homes in Lawrence. Moving can create a lot of waste. A little planning and preparation goes a long way toward reducing the amount of waste your move produces. Here are a few helpful tips:
REDUCE the amount of waste generated by using reusable or recyclable padding like towels, cloth napkins or newspaper to pack your boxes instead of purchasing Styrofoam peanuts or plastic wrap.
DONATE gently used clothing and household goods to local charities or hold a moving sale. Books, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, cassettes and records can be donated to the Friends of the Lawrence Public Library anytime the library is open - items can be deposited in the bins near the checkout desk. Donate non-perishable food to local food banks, pantries, and shelters.
RECYCLE obsolete electronic equipment at retail locations that offer electronic recycling services. Visit www.LawrenceRecycles for detailed information on these recycling services. Recycle cardboard boxes, newspapers, plastic bags and beverage containers at various drop-off recycling locations - visit www.LawrenceRecycles.org for the location nearest you.
PROPERLY DISPOSE of paint, automotive products, household cleaners, pesticides and other potentially hazardous chemicals at the City of Lawrence/ Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Call the city's Waste Reduction and Recycling Division at (785) 832-3030 to schedule a drop-off appointment.
SCHEDULE A PICK-UP for bulky items no longer usable, such as couches, appliances, and automobile tires by calling the city's Solid Waste Division at (785) 832-3032.
