Bring your unneeded pills, etc to the county's Hazardous Materials dropoff facility about a mile east of Costco. It is open 7-5 Mon - Thurs. Phone 520-7878. Easy to do. You can also bring old computer components, TVs, (anything with a circuit board), all types of batteries, florescent bulbs, and of course, chemicals and such. It is free to all El Paso and Teller residences. (They do not accept waste from businesses).

Sewer, drinking water, budget cuts, not sure the guy controlling the switch is not getting these mixed up, or the technology between sewer and drinking water contamination is working...please help me understand the process here.

I was at Ft Carson years ago and marveled at how clean the water was in your community. I read this article earlier this morning and was scratching my head thinking of how such contaminants got in the water supply.

they don't just pass through human waste, expired medications are flushed through the sewer system by both private individuals and pharmeceutical companies. Now here's a real concern for the Peyton parents.
