Trash Talk in Kentlands

Trash Talk in Kentlands

 

The sounds of this morning in Kentlands were the cawing calls of crows. Evidently, we have a flock of crows visiting the neighborhood. Crows are regular wintertime visitors in Maryland and in urban areas they are best known for ripping open trash bags and making a big mess to be cleaned up by local residents.

The Kentlands Citizens Assembly does require residents to use trash cans, with secure lids, rather than just trash bags on collection days. Frequently, surplus trash goes into a bag that is sitting next to the garbage can.

The crows are in town and it is time for all to be more diligent with trash disposal. Be sure to use your trash cans rather than the bags that the crows love so much to rip apart. It may be a good time to treat yourself to a new garbage can for 2018!

 

Happy New Year!

Having a murder of crows going through your trash would not be fun! We have to worry more about raccoons tearing through those kinds of bags.

Now this is one problem I've not seen in my area, Roy, despite the fact that I do see crows hanging around.

Our trash collection services will not pick up bags that are on the ground or auxiliary cans. That makes them free game for the birds and varmints.
