No trash left behind

With the cooler (brrrr) weather, gardeners are starting to close down their plots after a wet and weird gardening season. This is fine -- in an email last week, I detailed how to handle this process. I left out, however, one detail:

NO TRASH IN WAGNER FARM BINS

Gardeners bring a lot of synthetic items to the WFCG, and all of them need to be removed. However, we don't have the capacity to handle everyone's tomato cages (which can be used over many seasons, actually). So here are the rules:

1. Nothing bigger than a breadbox may be put in any Wagner Farm trash bins. Nothing. No tomato cages, no large pieces of wood, nothing. Please take those items home with you and dispose of them there.
2. If you put something small in a Wagner Farm trash bin, make sure the bin will close. I know we all at home leave our bins out with the tops partially open, but I've been told that the garbage collector may not empty bins at Wagner Farm if they are over-stuffed.
3. If you have ALREADY put large items in the bin in the garden, please remove them ASAP and dispose of it at home. The bin in the garden has several tomato cages and other large items in it. These need to be removed and disposed of at home.

Thank you!
