TOGETHER, LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN! Have you avoided trimming the jungle in the back yard because you didn't know where to take that pile of brush? Do you need somewhere to throw away that old mattress or sofa? The City of San Antonio, Environmental Services Department in partnerships with area landfills, offers you the perfect opportunity to get rid of all of your unwanted items and it's FREE.

FIRST...REUSE & RECYCLE!, Reusing materials and products, and recycling are some of the most powerful ways individuals can protect the environment and make a BIG difference for future generations. Consider donating useable household items to Goodwill, The Salvation Army, or your local church, or any other local charity before throwing them away.
