Garbage Bin Changes

I've been asked to pass on this information by Linda Garfoot.
It concerns our garbage disposal.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

This is what our waste container looked like last week.  

This week it is the same.  

Management has brought a new RECYCLE bin in for us.  It is located across and a little up from this location and is labled ( currently) as cardboard only.  Well, that is a mislabel and will be rectified, but needs to be used for the express purpose of RECYCLING. 

I took notes and the following should go into the RECYCLE bin:

WASHED 

plastic jugs, etc., clam shells used for sweets,tin cans,tetra packs, plastic pop and water containers , aluminum pop cans

FLATTENED (more room made) cardboard, newspaper and protection materials from packing.

 The only thing NOT to put in is GLASS.

Grass, tree and garden waste should be taken to the top level of the park (above the Post site) for disposal.  If there are weeds like thistle be sure to dry them out so they will burn and not spread more seed.  We will have a thistle problem ( also broom, yellow iris and English ivy) if we are not very diligent.

Only kitchen waste and glass are to go in the regular garbage. No furniture or electrical appliances, etc.  These can be taken to one of two sites that are free to the public.  One, near Duncan at  Drinkwater Rd. and one between here and Ladysmith on the highway.

  I put  the information here :     http://cvrd.bc.ca/index.aspx?NID=360

We've all wanted this for a LONG time and we need to use it as intended.  Don't be lazy.  Wash the containers ( less smell for Bears) and flatten the cardboard!

I'm sure most of you have walked over to the Dog Park.  Bill, Myself, Marjean and Jane have been looking after emptying it every Saturday.  I got bags from Linda, as I don't feel we should have to do everything!  When it's your turn, please get a bag from me!

Have a great summer all!
