For those Turlock residents whose Saturday is expected to be all work and no play, the Turlock Transfer Station at 1100 S. Walnut Ave. will be open from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. for the annual Take Pride in Turlock free dumping day.
With just an April 2009 City of Turlock Utility Bill and a picture ID with a Turlock address, any Turlock household can drop off a free load of trash. The only stipulations are that no vehicle loads larger than a pick-up truck will be accepted, and there may be no more than nine passenger tires per load.
The Stanislaus County Department of Environmental Resources will also be accepting household hazardous waste such as paint, varnish, oil, or pesticides from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at their 901 S. Walnut Ave. site.
