Effective Oct. 16, the Lopez Dump will also be open from 8 – 9 a.m., with limited service. This additional morning hour aims to better address the needs of local contractors and commercial customers, but everyone is welcome. Dump staff wants Lopezians to know this is a limited-service hour. Only garbage and commingled recyclables (fee items), and mixed paper and corrugated cardboard will be accepted from 8 – 9 a.m. The no-fee separated recycling plaza and the Take-It-Or-Leave-It will be CLOSED during the 8 – 9 a.m. hour. All services and facilities will be available as usual during customary Dump hours from 12 – 3 p.m.

The new morning hour from 8 – 9 a.m. will be on a trial basis, through Dec. 31, 2013. If this idea proves popular the Dump Board plans to continue the early morning hour year round.

Lopez Dump hours, starting Oct. 16: Wed., Sat., and Sun., 8 – 9 a.m. (limited service), and 12 – 3 p.m (full service).”
