NEED FOR A COMMUNITY DUMPSTER

According to the most recent Thompson Sanitary Service billing information, there is a $4.00 charge per bag for bush & tree trimmings, lawn clippings, and yard debris.

As we noted in the past, some of the parks have commercial dumpsters where yard debris is dumped, then collected periodically by the sanitary service.

Another approach would be some sort of ravine dump, exclusively for biodegradeable material which would have easy access, yet hidden from view by the residents of the park.

What do you do with the debris when you clean your yard?

If LVH wants the park to have a tidy appearance, they should make it easy for the residents to get rid of it.

For years we have cut up and bagged our yard clean up, and paid the extra $1.00 per bag, but as we grow older, cutting and bagging is becoming more difficult. Then the extra charge per bag is something to consider.

Is there a solution to this problem? We would appreciate your comments about this matter. Thank you, Ron.

Sincerely, Carol & Milton Sadusky

Carol,

There is a debris ravine. Go south on Evergreen to where it TEEs ... Turn left, go about 25 yards and look on the left. You will see the area. We are not allowed to dump on either side of the do not dump signs. But, we are allowed to dump in the middle of the signs. No plastic allowed yard clippings only.

It would be nice if we did have a community dumpster but it would probably never come from the park. Larry would point out that people would abuse it and with 265 residents.. he would probably be right.

We might discuss a once a month pick up by volunteers who take it to the dump... Volunteers that care about other's problems are in short supply at LVH but I will broach such a subject on the website.
