| An Idea That's Out of Sight! |
 Remember, Union City's Municipal Code requires trash and recycling containers to be removed from the curb within 24 hours of service and stored in a location that is screened from public view, such as a fenced side yard, garage or other place not visible from the public right-of-way. Thank you for your cooperation. |

| Stop Junk Mail |
 Junk mail is a waste. It is a huge waste of natural resources and your time. Sure, you can recycle junk mail, but it is even better to stop getting it. The average American home receives 1.5 trees in their mailbox in the form of unsolicited mail every year. That adds up to over 100 million trees cut down and over 28 billion gallons of water consumed to produce one year’s worth of this country’s junk mail. |
