Hello MLMEPOA members and friends and neighbors,
I hope everyone is well and enjoying springtime. We’ve had some snow here the first days of May(!), but we’re certainly happy to have some additional precipitation. Which reminds me that we need to update our well readings for spring:
Please go to the Water Meters tab to enter your meter reading at your next opportunity. Thanks very much – if we don’t get a reading from any of our aug plan users, we have to report “maximum usage” (127,500 gallons) so it is to everyone’s benefit to get the actual usage (usually much less).
Also we’re still encountering some difficulty with our recycling pickup – we may lose our recycling service due to our putting the “wrong stuff” in the recycling bin. The most confusing is probably the “NO CARDBOARD” requirement. It was noted on Sunday morning, 4-28-13, that at least one bag of recycling was in that dumpster untied and recycling was spilling out. Also there was cardboard inside. Both could result in the program being canceled. Be sure that all recyclables are securely tied and no cardboard..
Paperboard, such as cereal & tissue boxes, are acceptable. Paperboard boxes are made up using just a single layer of paperboard. Cardboard boxes are made up of corrugated paperboard which consists of two outer layers of paperboard with an inner layer of paperboard formed into alternating ridges and grooves. Almost all boxes are of the cardboard type, even some small ones – so please examine carefully, and if in doubt, put it in the trash dumpster.
Thanks everyone for your help. Wishing you safe travels to those headed this way for summertime.
