Grounds and Bins

23. Recycle container bins “Containers for Change”. Key is in lock box on fence - leaders know code. Use "pusher" to push containers to back of bin. If completely full, change "insert" over to the empty bin and Email: Scouts recycling. or phone on 3290 0718. Tidy up cardboard/rubbish and any donated bottles outside bin. Optional: open red bin at start of night and lock at end for easier parent donations. See GL for lock box code for bin keys. Hint: can "overfill" red bin and push lid down to maximise contents and minimise truck movements.

24. Monday night: Bring bins in from street and store on concrete path behind Rover den.

25. Friday night: take rubbish wheelie bin to street if it is half full or smelly.
