Cash For Trash
City's utility customers can now get over $150 in savings with giveaway of energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs or still receive the $5 off utility bill coupon.
The City's next 'Cash for Trash' event returns Saturday, April 18, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. with expanded choices for savings. City residential utility customers can now receive two 20-watt (75-watt equivalent) Energy Star compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) to save even more money on their electric costs. The two bulbs have a retail value of around $7. Customers will see an additional energy savings of around $150 over the life of two CFL's. The City has expanded the program as part of its commitment to our environment, sustainability, and energy efficiency.
Residential utility customers may bring large trash items too large to fit in their 96-gallon garbage container to the City's Solid Waste Services facility, located at 2727 Municipal Way (just off West Pensacola Street near the Messer Field softball complex). Items customers may bring include old furniture, household appliances (both large and small), large toys, and tires (limit of four per customer).
Residents may also bring household hazardous waste items and electronic items (including all computer parts) to Cash for Trash for disposal/recycling by Leon County's Solid Waste Division - HOWEVER, NO HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE, YARD WASTE OR CONSTRUCTION/DEMOLITION DEBRIS CAN BE ACCEPTED!
To receive the CFL's or coupon, residential customers utilizing the program must present a City utility bill before unloading material. Customers can make multiple trips, however only one coupon per utility bill will be distributed. This allows customers disposing items for their neighbors to do so and assist them in reaping the benefits of the Cash for Trash program.
