South Bend's Environmental Services Working together, we can all do our part to keep South Bend Clean, Green, and Cool! • Trash containers must be out by 6:00 a.m. on the regular scheduled day of pickup. • Place the container two feet from the curb (or alle line) with the handles facing toward the house, arrows acing toward curb /alley line. • "No Parking" imprint will help keep cars from blocking access to the containers. • Rinse containers frequently to eliminate odors. • Only bagged trash into the container. • Lids always closed to keep out III rain, snow, and animals. .► Remove container from the curb by the end of the collection day. — Mayo, S,eve �eke • Residents may add their address on the side of the container for better tracking. • Residents who have recently purchased a house, or are renting a house within the City limits, and find that there is no container on the premises, should call 277 -8823 to request a container. • Households will be monitored for the number of containers being used and billed accordingly. Curbside Recycling and Shredded Paper Shredded Paper is recyclable just like most other types of paper. The difference is that uncontained shredded paper is difficult to sort from other material and clogs the mechanical sort systems. This interferes with recycling of shredded paper as well as recycling of other items. Please contain your shredded paper in a paper bag and fold it to secure the paper or in a clear plastic trash bag. This will allow for your shredded paper to be hand sorted and recycled as you intended. These bags are available at most grocery stores, hard- ware stores, office supply stores.

He had been abused and was found with a long, deep cut across his throat. SBACC rushed him to the vet where he had 13 staples put in place to close the wound. Needing time to heal, a local adoption partner, volunteered to accept Teddy into their program. After spending weeks recovering, Teddy was adopted. However, he was soon returned when his family decided they didn't have time for him. In a new foster home (mine), Teddy went back on the market. Sadly, once again, Teddy was adopted and then returned when his new family realized the time commitment needed. That was when Teddy found his forever home right here with me! Teddy is now a loved and cherished member of our family and living happily ever after. Valerie Schey; a South Bend resident, volunteer at SBACC, and Founder of CARE of South Bend
