Please everyone, if the lids won't close on the recycle bins, don't try to pile your items on top, or leave them lying on the ground. The containers have lids for a reason!!!

Being told to stay home, or six feet apart, or to wear a mask, or any of the many other things we're being told to do isn't easy for those of us from the Midwest. Please be patient, keep in touch with your neighbors and family, and try to stop the spread of the virus. We're all in this together! Stay safe!
