SPRING OPEN COLLECTION DAYS SET FOR MARCH

  

The dates have been announced for this year’s annual Spring Open Collection Days at the BVR Collection Station in Brenham.

City residents will be able to dispose of non-hazardous waste at the station, located at 2009 Old Chappell Hill Road, March 4-6.  County residents can take part March 25-27.

The event is only for non-commercial customers, who must show proof of residence and ID upon arrival.

Residents can dump the first 500 pounds of debris per household at no charge; any amount above that will be charged at the full rate.  The collection station charges $90 per ton of non-compactible debris and $22.50 per ton of brush and yard waste.

Appliances with coolant will be assessed a $20 removal fee prior to drop-off.  Tires will be accepted at the normal gate rate.  Household computers will be taken, but large quantities of computers will be rejected.  Propane tanks and loads with dirt, cement and/or bricks will also be turned away.

After dropping off their trash, residents can pick up a load of mulch.

Hours for the BVR Collection Station during the event will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
