Please do not hang empty mail bags onto your mailboxes for collection by the postal drivers. Instead, fold them up and put them inside your mailbox for collection. The bags act like giant sails in the wind and are by far THE MOST prominent litter in our seasonal stream. The Seasonal stream between Gold Run and Dixon acts like a catch-all for anything that blows away from our properties. With spring runoff, the trash then makes its way into our waterways. Please help keep our town and waterways clean with this simple act!
