Did You Know?

…..that besides a printed newsletter the Town of Chesapeake Beach sends to residents, there is also an on-line newsletter which is updated regularly?  News can be found on the Town’s home page at http://www.chesapeake-beach.md.us/  You can also sign up for email news there.  Look for the sign-up field at the lower left of the home page.

The following article recently appeared advising residents on how to prepare their trash for pickup.

Let’s talk trash!

“The Town of Chesapeake Beach Code requires that all trash storage receptacles shall be made of durable material and shall be watertight with tight fitting covers to control odor and prevent animal access.  No garbage, trash or debris shall be placed out for collection except in proper receptacles.  Due to the excessive rains this summer, the trash company has been finding trash cans full of water along with being full of trash.  This causes the cans to be so heavy that they can’t physically be picked up.  The company has begun a no tolerance policy and will not collect the trash if the can is full of water.  You must properly cover your containers to avoid this and to ensure pick up.  Also, please do not use the Town provided recycle bins for regular trash; that will also prevent your trash from being collected.  We appreciate your attention and help with these matters as we strive to keep Chesapeake Beach beautiful.”
