It is such a worthy operation run by the kindest people you could ever meet. Walk over there some morning and ask for Steve or Kathy who run the program, you may even end up volunteering! :-)
As Paul Harvey used to say, and that’s the rest of the story. So instead of contacting county commissioners, calling them Satan worshippers, or the other nonsense on the thread, how about going over and talking to them?You can volunteer to pick up all the boxes, break them down, and put them out with your trash. That is a way to solve the problem for everyone. But if this is another thread where people just like to complain and not find a solution, just keep complaining, there are plenty of people on here who will join in. I think complaining should be an official club in the villages.
