High water marks in street after a rain can be traced many times to a clogged drain. Told one person about a clogged drain near his house and his remark was that he “hadn’t signed up” for that. No one has. It is just duty of all to keep it unclogged so that no one suffers from water damage.

Stuff on ground isn’t going anywhere. Don’t clutter up the alley, the neibghnorhood with this stuff. All garbage must be in one of the three-colored cans and the lids must be able to be closed. Ask for an extra can, if this is normal.

If you have an oversized item such as a mattress, call the phone number on one of the colored cans, and ask for oversize pickup. A special truck follows the route of the regular truck and picks up these items on the same garbage day.
