Notice Regarding Closure of Hobbs Collection Site
The Hobbs collection site will be closed beginning
July 1, 2010 due to the construction process to
install the final membrane over the old landfill.
This is part of the environmental mitigation
process to cap and seal the landfill.
The site will not accept
any trash or recycling beginning July 1. The
capping process is expected to take approximately
six months.
