    The recycle dumpsters are a GREAT community convienience. I use the dumpsters on Stefani Road often. However, I have two complaints: Some users seem to treat this service as a dump by leaving “basic garbage” or other non-recycle items. Also, what part of “break down the boxes” is misunderstood? This kind of laziness by a few will ruin it for the many. We have enough of that going on already….

    >>>What is wrong with the West side of the county, there is nothing in the Walnut Hill or Davisville areas

    Right here, from the list:

    Please recycle! If you don’t have a recycle can, take the paper, boxes, etc. to the recycle center!
