Chow, P.E., today announced that DPW will be holding a special one day St. Patrick's Day sale on our popular yellow recycling bins. This is an opportunity to not just wear the green, but to be green by recycling. Just for St. Patrick's Day, 3/17, our durable 18 gallon bins will be sold for just $3.17, almost $2.00 off the normal price. The popular 25-gallon bins will also be reduced in price to just $8.00. Lids for the larger bins will also be available for purchase. </FONT></SPAN></P>
