To: a small group who Don't and/or who Won't

An Ode FOR the Solid Waste Yard

To Those of you who Don't

And those of you who Won't

Help us with  not having to Bawl

There's  stuff that has our skin Crawl

Why, it raising to heights our Gall

Respect! what we all need, that's All

So, let's work together and all stand Tall

Any help you can give  no matter how Small

Translation:

To Those of you  Who Don't and Those who Won't, we ask you to please; rinse food containers, cans containing pet foods and human products. Plastic returnable bags should be clean. Returnable bottles: How long does it take to rinse a beer,wine or other bottles? 

Some of the stuff received is absolutely horrible. those of you who won't and those of you who don't, Well you don't have to deal with it at the yard, because, most of the work is done by our community volunteers.

There are health concerns, smell concerns, and concerns around respect for the workers/volunteers and Thetis Island

The vast majority of residents and property owners, are extremely helpful and supportive. Sadly, there a few that ain't.

Hopefully, this friendly message will help convince the; Donter' and Wonter's to change the way they bring THEIR materials to the site and to the volunteers. By doing that, you will be contributing to our whole community.

To Quote the Beach Boy's; "Wouldn't it be nice.......

Thank You,

Steve Frankel
