Trash Tips

Here are the rules regarding the trash:

1. Please (please!) put your trash in trash bags, not grocery sacks. Especially do not put trash in paper grocery sacks, as they inevitably tip over and spill the contents.

2. Please do not place your trash out the night before, as wildlife such as possums, raccoons, and birds are beginning to feed off of it, scattering it around and causing pest control problems.

3. Please bag ALL trash. Do not leave individual pieces of trash (such as Tide containers, for example) out on the curb for Bill to pick up. If an item is too big to bag, it may need to be put in the bulk trash dumpster which is here every Spring and Fall.

4. Please break down all boxes that do not fit in a bag. Do NOT fill boxes (such as unbroken-down TV boxes, for example) with loose trash. This necessitates Bill fetching trash bags and bagging your trash, piece by piece. Then he must break down the box himself.

5. Don't put hazardous materials in the trash. This includes paint cans.

6. Don't put things in the trash that will explode upon being compacted. This includes aerosol cans that are not fully emptied. To fully empty an aerosol can, turn it upside down while spraying out the last of the gas. It is now safe to put in the trash.

7. When putting trash directly in the compactor yourself, such as on the weekends, please put the trash IN the compactor and not on the ground outside of the compactor. If the trash seems full, please compact it by turning the key.

8. Finally, please do not park in the "red zone" across from the dumpster. The Deffenbaugh truck needs this space to maneuver.

Theft from vehicle

Someone recently entered a car on our property, even came into the open garage to do so. The person or persons rifled through the glove compartment and took the car's registration and insurance card. These documents could be used for insurance fraud and/or identify theft.

If you are ever worried that your information has for some reason been compromised, and you do not have a credit monitoring service, you can contact all three credit agencies and put a 90-day watch on your social security number. `
