However, at 100+ years old, we know the Club will outlast these miseries and live to tell the tales. So, to preserve, conserve and keep-on keepin’-on for generations… Please read ahead and thank you for adhering to the guidelines suggested. - Candy, David, Doug, Susie and Holli (July 2020)

OPEN DOCUMENT

Mark Fuller has ben instructed by the Board NOT to pick up trash and recyclables while the COVID-19 pandemic continues, unless it complies with the following guidelines.

Trash

Trash must be put out in trash bags that are tightly sealed/tied and placed facing up (to prevent spillage) in trash cans.

Absolutely NO loose trash should be placed in trash cans.

Trash that does not comply WILL NOT be collected.

Recyclables

Recyclables must be rinsed clean and dry (e.g., food containers must be washed) and placed in a separate bin from regular trash. If they are not placed in a separate bin, they must be put out in a clear-plastic bag so Mark can see it is recycling and not trash.

Recyclables that do not comply WILL NOT be collected.
