Friendly Reminders

• Trash: Regular Mon/Thurs schedule for all days.
• Recycle days: Mon 3/1, Mon 3/15, Mon 3/29 What is recyclable? Details here: 2020 Recycling & Curbside Collection Guide
• Walking on the street: With less roadway and sidewalk space available due to snow, please be careful when walking on the street. Try to walk as close to the side as possible, and stay on the left hand side so you can see approaching cars. Many people are walking in the middle of the road. This is both dangerous for pedestrians and for drivers.

Ice melt

Ice melt must be applied on the ground for it to be effective. Ideally, this should happen in anticipation of a storm. This isn't always feasible, of course, so the product should be spread before precipitation freezes or as soon as possible thereafter, or immediately after snow has been cleared.

Home Maintenance Winter Checklist:

• Clean the AC condenser, prepare for early use
• Clean the siding.
• Clean and repair outdoor decks.
