Bottle Drive Suggestions from Block Watch

For distribution to all home owners as part of Block Watch.

Habitat for Humanity is a great cause and well supported by our community however we need residents to be aware of a couple of things.

Last week on Friday August 7 Predator Security advised us that there was suspicious vehicle activity in our community the night before (a smaller grey 4 door car). It was thought that this might be related to the upcoming Habitat bottle drive on Saturday August 8 as many residents put their bottles and cans out the night before. Pick up time is set for 9 am on the day of the bottle drive which was the Saturday. To prevent a situation where undesirable activity may occur residents are asked to put their items out the morning of the Bottle drive rather than the night before. 

We also have a situation where boxes of bottles may get wet from overnight sprinkler activity and the bottoms may fall open when picked up in the morning. This is a safety concern for those doing pick up (possible broken glass) and adds to having to deal with individual bottles – really slows down the process. 

So please address these concerns as we support this great cause in a safe and secure manner. Thank you.
