Oil Recycling Replaced
Oct 14 2019
Over the years slight improvements have been made to implement functional components to the convenience station. We have added concrete pads using Keep America Beautiful grants and also a second gate.
The next phase includes modifying the layout of the containers to provide access through one gate and egress through a separate gate. The ramps will be eliminated, the site will be graded and graveled throughout with all containers accessible from the ground. Signage in English and Spanish will be added. The site will be monitored via cameras to assure compliance with site rules.
