Flag Day 2016 – U.S. Flag Retirement Ceremony
Arwood Waste Holds Annual U.S. Flag Retirement Ceremony
In conjunction with Flag Day and National Garbage Man Day celebrations, Arwood Waste recently held it’s annual Flag Retirement Ceremony. This year’s ceremony was held at the home of John D. Arwood, President of Arwood Waste. The U.S. flag is a beacon to the world of the core American values that we hold most dear–Freedom, Honor, Justice and Respect. While those values will always live on, each physical U.S. flag eventually reaches the end of their life-span. Arwood Waste is proud to continue offering this free public service throughout the year in partnership with local Boy Scout Troops and local U.S. Military.
How To Participate
If you have a damaged, faded or old U.S. flag, Arwood Waste is honored to properly dispose of it for no charge. We want to make this service easy for you.
1. Send us your Flag.
Drop off your flag at any Arwood Waste location during regular business hours or mail your flag to our corporate offices at:
Arwood Waste
13255 Lanier Rd
Jacksonville, FL 32226
2. We will retire your flag.
Arwood Waste stores all U.S. flags received and holds a Flag Retirement Ceremony in conjunction with Flag Day each year during which all collected flags are respectfully and properly disposed of. We’d be honored to include yours.
3. Share with a Friend.
Properly retiring a flag is not a process that everyone is familiar with. Why not let your friends and families know about this free community service from Arwood Waste?
Arwood Waste is proud to offer this public service at no charge.

Don’t Get Green, Go Green in 2016 (3 Tips on how to do it)
Don’t get green this St. Patrick’s Day from too much trash laying around
Allow Arwood Waste and our partners the pleasure of helping you go green by providing you with quality waste management services.
Here are three tips for Going Green this Spring:
1. Recycle
Not only does recycling paper and plastic help the environment, it saves room in your trash can – saving you money at your weekly trash pick up.
2. Compost
Throw scraps in your compost rather than your kitchen can. Your trash won’t stink and your plants and gardens will grow healthy and vibrant. It’s a win-win!
3. Walk or Ride Your Bike
Save some money, keep the air clean, and get some exercise – all at the same time.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Arwood Waste!

3 Informational & (non)Wasteful Tips for this Winter
1. Enjoy the Weather
Some things are out of our control. When dangerous weather conditions cause interruptions in garbage service, know that we are doing our best and will be back on schedule as soon as we can. Take this time to enjoy the wonder of weather (you’ll probably be longing for this weather by the time August arrives).
2. Spread the Warmth
Your garbage men and women are committed to what they do, even in ice cold circumstances. Surprise them with a hot chocolate, coffee, or even some warm gloves.
3. Stay Safe
Driving large vehicles in freezing conditions can be dangerous. Make sure children are away from the road when your garbage men and women are expected to be on your street. Ice can make it difficult to stop quickly if needed. Also, make sure your garbage is properly stored and ready for pick up so your drivers don’t have increased difficulty making your pickup.
From your friends at National Garbage Man Day, we ask that you enjoy the weather, keep warm, and stay safe this winter.

Climate Fee Notice Reminder: Old Man Winter is on the move
It’s True! Old Man Winter is certainly on the move…just ask any Arwood Waste team member in the North
For much of the country the Winter months also bring a few changes to how portable toilets and portable sanitation units are serviced to keep them functioning properly in the colder temperatures. Not much is worse than the surprise of a solid chunk of frozen waste when you need to use your portable toilet.
To prevent this experience, we may need to provide an additional climatization service to your unit during the months of November through March. If this is required you may notice a small additional Climate Fee on your bill during the affected months.
Arwood Waste and our partners are committed to providing you excellent service all year long! If you have any questions about the Climate Fee or if we can serve you any way, call us at (800) 477-0854.
Arwood Waste and our partners thank you for trusting us with your Roll Off Dumpster Rental, Portable Toilet Rental, Commercial Dumpster Rental, Temporary Fencing and Storage Rental needs all year long.

Garbage Love on this Valentine’s Day ♥ from Arwood Waste
Excellent tips for clearing the clutter in your life.
What is your level of comfort for clutter?
- Two years ago, your coffee pot maker went on the blink. You put it in the garage or the closet and let it collect dust.
- Your lamp got knocked off the table and broke. It could be fixed but it’s been sitting there now for 3 months and you’ve forgotten about it.
- How about the “antique” computer monitors that you are saving for parts. They are growing in number and you still haven’t used those parts.
How long should you keep stuff?
You deserve to live in a relaxing home and to work in a clutter free environment.
Let us help you get started!

Remembering Dr. King’s Legacy | For Freedom and Peace
Those of us at National Garbage Man Day take this time to commemorate the history of Martin Luther King Jr., and the work that he did towards creating equality in America.
We appreciate each and every one of you, and wish freedom and peace be yours.
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

Sanitation Workers: The First Line of Community Protection & Crime Prevention – Featured Article from johnarwood.com
Sanitation Workers Watching Out For Safety
In a recent article posted on www.johnarwood.com, John Arwood’s personal website, he highlighted several ways sanitation workers could partner with local first responders and law enforcement to help protect their communities.
As the safest communities have learned, partnerships between law enforcement officers and the public in crime prevention are the most effective ways of stopping criminals. Who better to help prevent crime than our very own sanitation workers? They are the workforce who are already in our neighborhoods and communities every day keeping us safe and clean. Garbage men provide extra eyes for police officers and know when something’s out of the ordinary. – John Arwood
