Sun Valley Water customers's trash compactor and recycling is now ONLY at our Greentree Solid Waste site

Compactor on the Sun Valley Rd curve is gone!

You must now use the new facility, which requires a gate code to enter.  Gate code is on the magnet you received in the mail from SVW this past fall.

Remember - you can check out SkiApache in LIVE time

Ski Apache website has a live web cam at http://www.skiapache.com/live-webcams/
you can also on the home page see snowfall, depth of snow and # of runs open.

 
Always Remember YOUR Responsibility Code
  You may be joined by skiers, snowboarders, snowshoers, cross-country skiers, etc. of all skill levels on a ski mountain. It is your responsibility to show respect and demonstrate common sense when on the mountain. Understanding your skill set and not pushing yourself beyond your comfort level is important.

THIS CODE is endorsed by The American Ski Federation, National Ski Patrol, United States Ski Industries Association, Professional Ski Instructors of America, Cross Country Ski Areas Association, United States Ski Association, Ski Coach's Association and other organization

1. Stay in Control. Always be ready to stop or avoid objects ahead of you.
2. Skiers and boarders ahead of you have the right of way.
3. Do not stop in the middle of a trail or in a blind spot on the mountain.
4. Always look uphill and yield to others when starting down the mountain.
5. Always use devices to avoid runaway gear.
6. Obey all signs& warnings posted. Do not enter closed trails or areas.
7. Before using a lift, understand how to load, ride and unload safely.

Greentree Solid Waste Authority- Trash/Recycling 102

AT the compactors/recycling site behind Chisms convenience store

1) big GREEN compactor is for cardboard ONLY. We share this site with Chisms and they have a lot of cardboard.  CLEAN cardboard.  Trash in the compactor makes the cardboard an unacceptable  recycle product.

2) Each of the BLUE BINS are labeled for the recycle product they accept. Toss into the correct bin.

     MIXED PAPER BIN: Cardboard boxes do not go into the Mixed paper bin - only office paper, mail envelopes, cereal boxes, magazines, etc.  Please put cardboard boxes in the GREEN compactor.

     ALUMINUM:  Certain pet food cans are part aluminum and part steel.  Please put pet food cans in a separate plastic bag tied at the top.  Steel cans can be sorted out with a huge magnet, but the pet food cans trick the magnet.

3) big TAN compactor is for household trash - no lumber; no metal - like bed frames, rebar, etc; no mattresses; no paint-filled paint cans; no bags of pine needles, no slash (your pine needles and slash are picked up by the grabbler once a month).   THINK before you throw it in.  WILL your trash jam the compactor?

Thanks for your diligence to be a thoughtful recycling person and a mindful, neat trash user.
As you saw, the wind played havoc with the fence like it did many trees in Sun Valley.
