Our 'Trashy' Neighborhood...

High winds and trash day are a lethal combination, as we all found out on New Year's Day when Cramer's Crossing took on a less-than-pristine look. To put it bluntly, the neighborhood looked trashy!
Please do your part to secure your trash and recyclables each week. It should be common sense, but please put your trash in a trash bag and close it securely. Do not simply dump your loose trash in a trash can. Recycle bins also should have their lids securely attached. Do your best to place your trash cans so they won't tip over and make sure the lid is on. Consider holding some larger items until the following week's pick-up if the winds are that severe. Regularly pick up any newspapers or store flyers that are delivered to your home. Most important, if you are responsible for making a mess, please have the courtesy to clean up your trash.

The New Year's Eve wind carried holiday wrappings, huge boxes and even entire bags of trash everywhere. Those with yards backing to the tree lines were especially hard hit, where mounds of trash accumulated. Many trees are now "decorated" with unsightly plastic bags. The tree line on the south side of Cramer's Crossing Drive was covered in trash. There were even bags and boxes floating in the ponds.Hats off to those unknown individuals who took it upon themselves to clean up the mess. By nightfall on New Year's Day, most of the debris had been picked up. Many, many thanks!
