Salt Lake County Sheriff's reports to the Community Council raise several local issues: Temple Quarry Park in Little Cottonwood Canyon is open to the public. It is located just off South Little Cottonwood Road (U-209) just below the time/temp/conditions sign on the south side of the highway. Trails and interpretive signs make this an interesting summertime stop.

RECYCLE! and SAVE!
1. Cutting your tree branches? Cleaning up the shrubbery? Weeding the gardens? Stuffing it all in your black trash tubs?
Have you considered getting a "Green Waste Trailer" from SL County Sanitation Dept.? $20 gets one of 2 sizes of trailers delivered to YOUR driveway. You load that green stuff into it and cover it up. Then the nice man from SL County comes and takes it away to the greenwaste area of the landfill where they turn it into mulch for you to go get (for really cheap!) and bring it back for you to put around your trees and shrubbery...what a vicious cycle! Where do you go to sign up?
SL County Sanitation office at 7125 S 600 W, Midvale. 562-6435. Near the TRAX yards.

I'm seeing more County Blue here in Granite! Good for you!
Good for us. Good for the environment. Thank you.
If you have a County black garbage "tub", and not a blue one, too, then please go to www.pw.slco.org/sani/#recycle and find out how to sign up. Do your part in saving us all a bunch of landfill costs. Did you know...that the monthly cost of a blue tub is only $3.00, whereas the black trash tub costs ya $9.00 per MONTH!? Didja? And recycling saves lots of your tax $$$ from going into and filling up the landfill! So - please sign up to recycle! Thank you.
Thank you very much. Your neighbors thank you, too.
