    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 at 102 Roadrunner Dr. and deposited in the Rx drop box; anyone can do this, residency not required

    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 call (928) 203-5060 or contact Sustainability Coordinator McKenzie Jones atmjones@sedonaaz.gov.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
