    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (September 3, 2020) – The city of Sedona and Yavapai County will host a free household hazardous waste and electronics collection day on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2020 from 8 a.m. to noon, at the Sedona City Hall complex. 

    This event is for residents of Sedona and unincorporated Yavapai County. Please be prepared to wear a mask and show a driver’s license and one utility bill as proof of residence. 

    Waste that will be accepted includes: aerosol paints and spray products, batteries except for lead acid or any vehicle battery, computer equipment, gasoline, household cleaners, kerosene, light bulbs, pesticides, pool chemicals, small appliances, small electronic devices, standard grill and camping propane tanks, oil-based paints, stains, solvents, thinners, televisions and adhesives. 

    Waste that will not be accepted includes ammunition and fireworks, car or other vehicle batteries, commercial business waste, explosives, compressed gas cylinders other than propane such as oxygen, latex paints, medical waste or prescription drugs, motor oil and oil filters, radioactive materials including smoke detectors, tires of any kind or any other material or items not listed in the accepted list.

    Here are ways you can dispose of some of the items not accepted at this event:

    Sedona Gift Shop

    • Add kitty litter or sawdust to latex paint to dry it out and dispose with regular trash; if you can remove the dried paint from the can, please recycle the can. 
    • Prescription drugs can be taken to the Sedona Police Department lobby at the City Hall complex and deposited in the prescription drop box; anyone can do this, and residency is not required.
    • Vehicle batteries and motor oil can be returned to garages or auto supply stores.

    Sedona residents in Coconino County may participate in this event in addition to being able to drop off items year-round in Flagstaff at the Flagstaff Hazardous Products Center. Visit www.flagstaff.az.gov/hpc or call (928) 213-2159 for more information.  

    Disposing of hazardous waste in landfills contaminates drinking water and can kill wildlife. Throwing out electronics can waste billions of dollars in recoverable materials such as gold, silver, coltan, copper, palladium, platinum and other valuable metals. Proper disposal is important for protecting the health of humans and our environment. 

    For additional details on the Sedona Household Hazardous Waste Event contact Sustainability Coordinator McKenzie Jones at mjones@sedonaaz.gov or (928) 203-5060.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
