Despite several mentions of this issue in the past 2 or 3 Informational Notices sent out to all homeowners and addresses, we continue to get broken glass, mirrors and other sharp items put into plastic garbage bags.

Had there been any information in the bag with an address on it, the culprit would have been fined.\u00a0 Shortly after the broken mirror, we found another trash bag, this time with pieces of broken window glass in it.
