Millions of people throughout our nation will be gathering on Thursday, May 3rd to observe the annual National Day of Prayer. Saugus residents will be meeting at the Town Hall at 7:00 pm. While the event is sponsored by the Saugus Clergy Association, it is open to all people, regardless of their faith background. This year’s theme is: “America, unite in prayer.” In a time of war, we’re especially praying for peace in our troubled world. It’s been said, “The only conversation that will work is the one with God.” For more information, please contact Saugus NDP Chairman Michael Noonan at 781-231-2874.

Residents will be able to dispose of their household hazardous waste at an upcoming collection sponsored by the Board of Health. The household hazardous waste collection event will be held Saturday, May 19, 2007 rain or shine. The collection allows residents to dispose of household hazardous materials in an environmentally responsible manner. Only Saugus residents who pre-register will be allowed to dispose of their waste at the collection event. Details will be provided at the time of pre-registration starting Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at the Inspectional Services Department of the Town Hall. Proof of residency is required and no commercial waste will be accepted. A pre-registered type of event reduces wait time and ensures that all registered participants are serviced. Residents may pre-register by calling Inspectional Services at the number above. The following is a summary of what items residents can dispose of at the event: oil-based paints, varnishes, stains, turpentine, paint thinners, solvents, adhesives, photography chemicals, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, cesspool cleaners, oven cleaners, drain cleaners, transmission fluids, degreasers, antifreeze, brake fluids, and car batteries. TVs and monitors will require a $10 sticker; propane tanks a $5 sticker; automobile tires are $2 a piece and truck tires $10 a piece. Stickers may be purchased at the Saugus Inspectional Services Department; all of the stickers must be purchased prior to the event. Do not bring explosives, ammunition, or latex paint (latex paint may be dried out and disposed of in the regular trash). Residents will be limited to two car loads which is 50 lbs. or 50 gallons of hazardous waste.
