City of Carlsbad update: Riverblitz collects 10 tons of trash
Dale Janway
This year’s haul from Riverblitz was more than ten tons of trash collected, though the 10.1 tons of material included a couple of burned out cars. According to Beautification Coordinator Mary Garwood, 167 volunteers participated in last week’s Riverblitz event.
The list of top groups who volunteered this year included Albertsons and Chevron, two of the companies in town with the great records in terms of always being there to help. Other major organizations who assisted were the Bureau of Land Management, Eddy County and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who had 26 volunteers this year. NWP provided water bottles. Gloves, bags, grabbers, snacks and masks were also given to anyone interested. Of course, some of the biggest Riverblitz heroes were the men, women and children who simply decide to go out that day, and many others, to help pick up trash.
In what has become a regular springtime event, Tuscaloosa City Hall has set June 5 for the 2021 Household Hazardous Waste Disposal day.
Open to Tuscaloosa County residents only, participants will be allowed to drop off a variety of household items, free of charge, between 8 a.m. and noon at the city of Tuscaloosa’s Public Safety Logistics building at 3311 Kauloosa Ave.
Household hazardous waste is defined as the discarded, unused or leftover portion of household products containing toxic chemicals.
Since at least 2007, Nucor Steel Tuscaloosa has teamed up with local governments and entities to provide its services in allowing for the safe disposal of hundreds of thousands of pounds of household hazardous waste, and the Household Hazardous Waste Day was one of few events not canceled in 2020 out of coronavirus concerns.

Sables-Spanish Rivers Township council knows some of their ratepayers will be disappointed, but the members feel they have no choice but to postpone the Clean-Up Days originally set for May.
At Wednesday’s council meeting, Councillor Kevin Burke says under the Ontario stay-at-home orders, the township should not encourage the public to leave their homes to dispose of their garbage and his fellow councillors agreed.
Council has decided to cancel its Clean-Up Days originally scheduled for the second and third weekends in May until next month adding they could be postponed again depending on the COVID-19 protocols.
