Undecorating March 14 – 15
Are you ready to take the wreaths down? We are!!
We will gather on Saturday, March 14th to begin the undecorating and will continue on Sunday if needed. Mr. Tom Kershaw will kindly host the Volunteer Brunch, which will take place at the Hampshire House on Sunday, March 15th from 10am to 12pm. This brunch is open to all our decorating and undecorating volunteers.
Things to remember:
• Ladders will be available at Charles Street Hardware. If you have one of your own, please use it to make the job go faster!
• Wreaths must be bagged in black contractor bags (the BHCA will be down at Charles Street Hardware with a supply). Once full, tie the top of the bag with one of the red bows, and leave it on the nearest street corner so that DPW will not confuse this with residential trash.
• Please take this opportunity to remove any wires, tape, outdated permits, trash, and anything else that has been left behind by others.
• A sign-up form will be included in the BHCA eblast; please sign up there or call the office if you are available to help.
• Many hands make light work – so let’s get out there and clean up!
Continued Importance of 311
Please continue to send reports to 311 about trash put out improperly, missing bricks, potholes, and anything else that requires the City’s attention.
Dog Owners and Walkers
Dog waste left out on sidewalks and snow piles, with and without bags, is on the rise. Please be a responsible pet owner and dispose of your pet’s waste properly.
The City of Boston has a dog fouling ordinance, Section 16-1.10A of the City Code, also known as the “Pooper Scooper Law”. The law requires that pet owners properly dispose of waste left by their pets. Boston is a beautiful and historic city that is rated “very walkable”. However, we will only stay that way if everyone does their part to keep Boston clean. So put it in a trash barrel, don’t leave it on the sidewalk!
