The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the excess trash from most households as they deal with parties, presents and other holiday activities.  Since Fayetteville operates a Pay-As-You-Throw residential trash program, managing this extra volume can prove somewhat of a challenge.  In December, each single family household will be mailed 4 free extra bag stickers for 2013.  The stickers are to be used on excess bags of trash at any time throughout the year to avoid the $6 extra bag charge for excess trash above the rim of the cart on trash service days. 

Apple Seeds, Inc. in partnership with Fayetteville Public Schools will host a free cooking class for families of Owl Creek School and the surrounding community.

This will be the 12th Healthy Cooking Class hosted by Apple Seeds, Inc. and the first of its kind held this semester.
