This morning there is a large pile of stuff out front that will most likely not be taken. </div><div><br></div><div>As a general rule, if you leave something out front and then find it has not been picked up, please take care of picking it up off the front sidewalks and putting it in the dumpster. As you know the front of the building has been redesigned, and it's nice to support that by recycling neatly.</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>According to the guidelines I have from the Somerville recycling office, all corrugated cardboard boxes are supposed to be broken down into small pieces and can then placed inside brown paper bags. If they are bundled together and put on top of or inside blue bins, they will also probably be taken.</b></div><div><br></div><div>Also, <b>glass jars, tin cans, etc. should be rinsed out a</b>nd then put inside blue bins, or brown bags. It is really not neighborly to leave such items outside if they haven't been cleaned out first (with an open invitation to vermin).</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for doing your part!</div><div><br></div><div>Marty Marks (Linden Trustee, Unit 3)</div><div><br><div>
