Automated Garbage & Recycling

The city has finally added our neighborhood to the list of residents that will be in the automated and recycling program. This will hopefully reduce the amount of trash on the streets, clean up the streetscape, and allow ease of disposal.

PLEASE USE THE RECYCLING BINS! My wife and I began using the smaller green recycling bin last year, and we reduced our trash disposal to one small bag once a week.

THE CITY ALSO ENCOURAGES COMPOSTING. This is a very easy way to dispose of the natural products you have in your kitchen after cooking. It also reduces the waste in the garbage bin and reduces/eliminates the smell of your kitchen's garbage can. And, of course, it's amazing fertilizer for your grass/garden.

Here's a link for more information on this subject. You should receive your new bins in Mid-March.
