Trash & Recycling Reminders
When taking out your trash and recycling on Sundays, be sure all material is placed inside the appropriate dumpster. We've noticed an increase in trash on the ground over the weekend despite plenty of room available in the dumpsters for more waste. Always lift the lid and ask for help if you need it! Leaving trash on the ground not only makes it hard for staff to empty containers, but it can also be picked up by wildlife or blown around in the wind, which can be especially harmful to our nearby waterways. Thanks for doing your part! #BadgersLiveSustainably
