Pueblo landfill offers 50% discount on trash disposal
(PUEBLO, Colo.) — The City of Pueblo and Waste Connections Southside Landfill are teaming up for a 50% discount on loads for Pueblo citizens through June 14.
City residents must provide a valid photo ID listing an address within city limits, or residents can provide other identification with a current bill to receive discounts. Accepted waste includes trash, yard trimmings, mattresses, or box springs.
Appliances, electronics, liquids, paint, tires, and hazardous waste such as poisons, cleaners, oil, toxins, or asbestos won't be accepted. Construction, demolition, or roofing material will also not be accepted. The offer is not available for businesses.
'If our residents missed the Team Up to Clean Up free dump day event on Saturday, May 31, there is still time to finish your spring cleaning and receive a discount for dumping your trash,' said Director of Public Works Andrew Hayes. 'This twice-annual offering allows for residents to dump a truck or carload of trash at a 50% discounted rate.'
To receive the discount, all loads must be covered. Uncovered loads will be charged double the gate rate. Only credit and debit cards are accepted.

Elk Grove's eco-friendly recycled water plan faces major setback amid rising costs
ELK GROVE — A plan to irrigate Elk Grove parks, trees and plants with treated sewage water is in jeopardy. The recycled water was supposed to benefit the city's last large-scale urban development, but city officials now say using recycled water won't work. A new 1,200-acre neighborhood near Bruceville and Kammerer roads in Elk Grove was supposed to be an example of environmental conservation. It is designed to be drought-tolerant by using treated sewage water in parks and landscaping. "It's really an environmental stewardship," said public works director Jeff Werner. "Recycled water preserves the use of surface water and potable water." Many streets are already equipped with dedicated purple pipes to deliver reclaimed water, but now this eco-friendly Harvest Water project is going down the drain. Werner is recommending that the city cancel the recycled water program in this southeast neighborhood. "The estimated cost of the system has jumped nearly $17 million over the past couple of years," he said. "The city and taxpayers in other areas would have to subsidize the cost of the system." Construction on the Harvest Water project is already underway along Franklin Boulevard. Crews are laying more than 40 miles of underground pipes that will deliver recycled water from the regional sewage treatment plant, through Elk Grove, and to farms in southern Sacramento County. Up to two and a half million gallons of recycled water a day were supposed to go to this neighborhood, which will eventually add 17,000 new residents. "If the project isn't affordable, really, this becomes a burden on the taxpayer," Werner said. The Sacramento Area Sewer District says the loss of Elk Grove customers won't jeopardize the project and reclaimed water will still be used in the East Franklin and Laguna Ridge areas. "This was really an initiative that the city was hopeful to implement, but that doesn't always work out," Werner said. The total Harvest Water project is expected to cost nearly $600 million, and construction is scheduled to be completed in 2027.

Youngsters explore city vehicles at annual event
Over 2,000 Brantford-Brant residents attended the fifth annual Wheels on the Pavement event at the Brantford and District Civic Centre on Sunday, May 25, 2025. Hosted in partnership between the Downtown Central, East Ward Echo Place, Holmedale and Eagle Place Neighbourhood Associations, as well as the City of Brantford, the event was held in celebration of National Public Works Week. The event featured an assortment of around 50 city vehicles, big rigs, emergency response vehicles and jeeps from the Brantford Area Jeep and Off Road Club (BAJC) for parents and children alike to explore. 'We have a lot of Public Works employees and their vehicles here today, as well as several other vehicles from the City and local businesses too,' said Sylvia Collins, Chair of the Neighbourhood Alliance for the City of Brantford. 'It's just a great chance for everyone who sees these vehicles on a daily basis and who may be curious about what they look like inside, to see how they work.' Collins explained that the event was originally the brainchild of Jayme Wilson-Belore, and has been evolving ever since. 'Back then, she gathered the fellow neighbourhood hub chairs and said, 'what do you think of this idea?' and so at the time, they came together to get the first one off the ground and then we eventually partnered with the City,' she said. 'That's been a great partnership, because we've been able to be here at the Civic Centre, and we were able to get Public Works involved with all their vehicles so it's been really nice.' As the event got underway, it didn't take long for the youngsters and their parents to start lining up for a chance to explore the various vehicles, honk a few horns and pose for photos. Carolyn Dares, an arborist with the City's forestry department, said the event was a fantastic chance for children to interact with Public Works employees. 'This is a great, interactive opportunity for the kids to check out the vehicles but to also get introduced to different types of careers too,' she said. 'Of course, big trucks attract little children, so it's an amazing event for them; a lot of them just want to climb in and honk the horns, but a lot of them have come up and asked questions about the chainsaws and such too so that's been fun.' Throughout the event, families connected with the many different community partner booths to play games, pick up some goodies or acquire temporary tattoos. Many were sure to also get a balloon animal from Marco the Clown, and stop to watch the Just Dance Line Dancing Community entertain the crowd. A fan-favourite of the day was watching the Alpha Power Lifters pull a Ken's Towing 72,000-pound rotator truck. Organizers were also collecting non-perishables and school-safe snacks on behalf of Gifts of the Heart, a local not-for-profit organization dedicated to addressing the issues of food and clothing insecurity that faces young school-age children. Joe Doolittle and Kat Hill said it was their first time visiting the event. 'There's a lot of stuff going on here for sure, so that's nice,' said Doolittle. 'It's kind of cool too, because it gives them a safe way to come up and approach these vehicles and check them out. The kids particularly liked checking out the fire truck, so that was really fun to see.' Kimberly De Jong's reporting is funded by the Canadian government through its Local Journalism Initiative.
