You can make your neighborhood a pleasanter
place to live and increase the value of your
property. You can help the Village of Freeport
to be clean and attractive by observing the
following:
DO'S FOR HOMES AND BUSINESSES
DO maintain your home or business establishment
by painting and repairing. Village Ordinances
require painting of all wooden surfaces to pre-vent
deterioration. This is being strictly en-forced
by the Building Department.
DO maintain your garages and fences and keep
them repaired and painted. Maintain your lawns,
gardens and yards for beauty and cleanliness.
Pick up all litter including any at curbside.
Cut down weeds between sidewalk and curb.
DO have proper rubbish and garbage receptacles
with covers in sufficient number. All contain-ers
must be kept closed, including the large
commercial dunpster units.
DO remove trash around your house, yard^ fence
or hedge. Clean unsightly litter accumulation
from wire fences, bushes and hedges. Put out
trash at curb., for'Wednesday pick-up each week
(except in a holiday week when'Wednesday trash
pick-ups are eliminated because garbage is
picked up on that day to offset the holiday).
• «^*^*'
DO call for special pick-ups for large or bulky
items, such as discarded refrigerators, stoves
and such. Put weeds, leaves, grass cuttings,
etc. in plastic bags for Wednesday pick-up.
DO use litter baskets when you are in the busi-ness
districts. Keep a litter bag in your car
or boat.
DO report vacant lots that are in need of clean-ing.
Under Village Ordinances if the property
owner does not clean his lot the Village will
have it done by a contractor and the cost will
be charged against the property.
DON'T HURT YOUR VILLAGE
DON'T confuse or mix trash or garbage. Trash is
burnable items only, such as paper, ragsr^ pieces
of wood, and it is to be put out for collection
only on Wednesday.
DON'T put out excessive amounts of trash for
pick-up on one day. If you have a large amount,
put only part of it outside on any Wednesday and
hold the rest for the next Wednesday pick-up.
DON'T put trash out before 6 PM on Tuesday
night prior to Wednesday trash pick-up. DON'T
sweep leaves, twigs, grass clippings, etc. into
gutter. Pick them up and put them into closed
containers for trash pick-up.
If you are a businessman, DON'T pile boxes and
crates alongside your dumpster. Break them
down to flat units and put them in the con-tainers.
Use containers of adequate size to
handle all of your trash.
CALL THE SANITATION OFFICE AT FR 8-4000, EXT.
222 AflY TIME YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT REGULA-TIONS

Barking Dogs APRIL 1973
Dogs are said to be a man's best friend. How-ever,
when they bark and howl excessively and
cause a disturbance, they can hardly be con-sidered
such by your neighbors. Dogs should
not be left alone outside, either during the
day or at night, or left alone at home for
several hours at a time. For the best inter-est
of yourself and your neighbors, please
abide by the Village Ordinance regarding dis-turbances
by animals:
No person owning or possessing any animal shall
allow it to disturb the comfort, peace or re-pose
of any persons in the vicinity by long
continued or frequent noise. If a complaint
is made to the Village Clerk that such noise
has occurred, the owner, keeper or possessor
of the offending animal shall be notified of
the provisions of this section, and that its
violation is charged.
Work For Clean Water
CLEAN-UP
PAINT-UP FIX-UP
The Freeport Waterfront is one of our most val-uable
assets, and every Freeport resident and
businessman should work towards keeping our
waterways clean. Report to the Freeport Police,
FR 8-0700, any observation of anyone dumping
garbage or refuse into the waterways. The Po-lice
Boat will be on regular patrol to appre-hend
violators of the Village Ordinance which
states:
Don't Place Leaves At TheCurb
During the autumn of each year the Highway De-partment
will pick up leaves that are neatly
piled at the curb, using the special vacuum
trucks and other equipment. However, this ser-vice
is limited to about eight weeks when fall-ing
leaves present the biggest problem. That
is also the time of the year when the Highway
Department personnel can most readily be spared
from their regular work of street and parking
field maintenance.
Some residents have continued to put leaves,
grass clippings and other material at the curb.
These items should instead be placed in con-tainers
for the regular Wednesday trash pick-up
by the Sanitation Department.
No person shall discharge a toilet or deposit
or cause the deposit of any sewage, offal, ashes."
garbage, waste or other offensive or rejected
materials either from shore or from any undocu-mented
vessel into any of the waters within or
bounding the Village to a distance of 1,500
feet from the shore (Code 1952,Orci. 8.2; ord.
of 9-19-61.).
