- Management of Dumpsters and Trash Fact Sheet
The purpose of the Management of Dumpsters & Trash Fact Sheet is to provide information on the proper management, handling, and good housekeeping practices for trash bins, dumpsters, and roll-off containers. The Fact Sheet can be used by a MS4 for the education of residents, businesses, and industries. An editable Word document is available for adding your local MS4 or utility logo and contact information.
- Shop Posters for Municipal Activities
The purpose of the posters is to provide municipal employees continuous education by posting in an area frequently visited. These are formatted to print on 11x17 and are editable. The base of the slides can be changed through View>Slide Master. This is where an MS4 would add their logo and contact information. If the MS4 wishes to change pictures and text, those are editable in each slide. They would just have to format it to fit.
