Trash Cans:
Several years ago we started putting out trash cans so the people who walk thru our neighborhood would have somewhere to dump their trash instead of dropping it on the street. This has been very successful and we have added new cans every year. We have some trash cans again this year that need someone to adopt them (empty them when full). Craig Wallace will contact Mindy and Don Grossburg at 1801 Gold about adopting one and will install it for them if they agree. Katy Brazielwill ask Dana Craig about them adopting one.
