Fairview Community Cleanup
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is sponsoring a Community Cleanup event to pick up trash along Fairview’s trails and roads and in our parks.
The Town will supply trash bags and reflective vests. Bring your own gloves, trash pickers/grabbers or other tools to help pick up debris.
Volunteers will gather at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 13, near the east entrance of Town Hall, 372 Town Place. The Parks Board will help disperse volunteers to areas they’ve identified for cleaning. Light refreshments will be provided.
After the work has ended, the Public Works team will pick up the filled trash bags that volunteers leave at cleanup sites.
The cleanup event is being held in conjunction with the Household Hazardous Waste Collection and Document Shredding events. Let’s all pitch in to make Fairview fresh and clean for spring.
For more information about this event, email Israel Roberts.
Document Shredding Event
Gather your outdated files (maximum of 10 boxes measuring 10x12x15-inches each per resident) and bring them to be securely shredded from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 13, at the Fairview Public Works Yard, 500 S. State Highway 5.
If you’re unsure whether a document should be saved, refer to recommendations from the Internal Revenue Service. (Scan the QR code to view the IRS recommendations.)
Documents will be accepted for shredding on a first come-first served basis until a maximum capacity of 12,000 pounds is reached.
Residents must present a valid driver’s license with a Fairview address or a Town-issued water bill to participate.
The shredding event is hosted by the Fairview Public Works Department and is sponsored by Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union-Allen.

Drug Take Back Day
The Fairview Police Department is participating in the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Drug Take Back Day to collect and dispose of unneeded medications to prevent medication misuse and opioid addiction.
Bring unneeded medications to Fire Station 1, 510 S. State Highway 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27.
Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain in the original container and tightly sealed to prevent leakage. Medication in tablet or capsule form may be poured directly into the disposal box or disposed of in its original container.
Inhalers and injectables, including intravenous solutions and pre-loaded syringes, will not be accepted because of potential hazards.
