"I'm very pleased," said En- vironmental Health Direc- tor Tim Potanovic. "We first came up here to talk to the Sky Ranch about their water sys- tem, which is crumbling, and that opened up doors for this project. It's definitely one of our better-received projects." Greenwaste donated two bins initially, but thanks to an enthusiastic response from the community it brought out a third 40-yard bin for the proj- ect, said Code Enforcement Of- ficer Clint Weston. The bin was dropped off about 11 a.m. Friday and will stay on-site for community members to dispose of any type of waste they can fit in the con- tainers with pickup slated for Monday, Potanovic said. The first vehicle arrived about a minute after the truck finished unloading the first bin and within five minutes an addi- tional two vehicles, some with trailers full, arrived with all community members on hand helping each other in unload- ing. "We have people that have been stacking up items since at least (Thursday) in preparation for this so I'd definitely call it a success," Potanovic said. One man approached Po- tanovic to ask about the bin and told him he had two travel trailers he had made arrange- ments to haul off. "Those two trailers were here when I bought the prop- erty," the man said. "I'm dis- abled, but I do what I can. This clean-up makes things more presentable. It makes it look a lot better."
