BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
The garbage dumpsters placed at parks,
marinas, and at condominiums are for the
sole use of the people who live in or have
the use of those areas.
If you are leaving town and looking for a
place to deposit your trash, please arrange to
have a neighbor put it out on the right of
way for you. The disposal site at Newport is
open for dropping off of garbage, if you have
a large amount to dispose of, and won't be
here to get it out.
For information about pickup of
appliances no longer being used, call Waste
Industries (223-4176), and they will put you
on their pickup list and tell you when the
truck will be in the area.
The Holiday season is
upon us. With all the
holiday festivities, taxes
may become the last thing on
your minds-
The Finance Department
appreciates your prompt
response to your tax bills.
Remember, January 5th is the
last day to pay taxes without
a penalty. Wishing you and
yours a very Merry Christmas.
