While trash collection is occurring on the regular schedule, residents in these areas continue to experience delays in the collection of yard trim, scrap metal, and small amounts of recycling.</p><p>The County has actively worked to address this unacceptable level of service and has contracted with The Goode Companies, Inc., to provide collection services effective Tuesday, May 30 (the week of Memorial Day, which is a “slide” week) for trash and bulk items, yard trim, and scrap metal in the Silver Spring area. This should result in an immediate improvement in the level of service in both the Silver Spring area and, indirectly in the Bethesda area as Potomac is able to concentrate its available resources for yard trim in Bethesda. Potomac will continue to be responsible for collection of recyclables, and has assured the County that they have sufficient crews to provide recycling collection service.</p><p>We expect to be able to announce a similar solution for the Bethesda area within the next week.</p><p>County staff will continue to monitor these neighborhoods to evaluate the contractors’ performance, and follow-up on any reported collection problems.</p><p>Until these collection service solutions are in place, if your yard trim, scrap metal and/or blue bin/blue cart is not collected on your normal County collection day, please leave your material at the curb. The contractor will collect missed items as soon as possible.</p><p>We apologize for any inconvenience this situation is causing.</p><br />

<b>Renting a truck on a weekend for moving a large load that might be over 500 pounds?</b><br />
<br />
Come on Saturday, when the truck scales are open from 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.<br />
<br />
Staff working on Sundays are directed to turn away loads over 500 pounds, for which we are required to charge under the County code.<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid the weekend crowds</b><br />
<br />
The Transfer Station's Public Unloading Facility and Recycling lots are open until 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, in addition to the usual daytime hours. There is very light traffic in the evening. So, if you want to avoid long lines, try a weekday evening trip (loads must be under 500 pounds). </div>

Store your recycling bin out of the rain. Though the bin has drain holes, dump out even small amounts of water. Do this weekly. <a href="http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/Mosquito/">See more mosquito-related tips</a>.<br />

<br />
The deer had slipped into a lined lagoon. It could not get out because the liner was too slippery. Fortunately, that lagoon had only clean storm water in it.<br />
<br />
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources representative chased the deer around in the water with our small boat to tire it out. He was then able to capture it.<br />
<br />
The men took the deer to a safe location to untie it, and it went on its way.<br />

New at the <a href="http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/sws/facilities/ts/">Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station</a>: a well-deserved Brush Lot loader! These loaders work all day, every day, pushing up the brush pile, and loading truck... after truck... after truck. The old loader will be auctioned off to get additional return on investment for us! (Thanks for the photo, Dave.)<br />
