Winter weather and the holiday season can make an impact on waste and recycling disposal around Guthrie County. Specifically Jensen Sanitation is reminding Guthrie Center residents to take extra measures when tossing out packages and normal garbage.

Jensen Sanitation reminds all residents to break down any cardboard boxes as much as possible. The influx of boxes due to Christmas package shipping can often cause a clunky pickup for recycling personnel. They also recommend not only bagging garbage, but also tying the bag to ensure loose items are not blown away in the much stronger winter winds. Jensen Sanitation has serviced Guthrie Center since 1977.
