Guidance on volunteering and being a good neighbor during the COVID-19 crisis

Excerpt from the Anne Arundel County list of Frequently Asked Questions regarding volunteering during the COVID-19 crisis (for the full list, use this link):

During this unique and extended emergency situation, our County must work together as a united community to weather the crisis. Citizen volunteers will have an important role in supporting our communities. However, this is not a “typical natural disaster” like a hurricane or snowstorm. Everyone, including volunteers, must stay mindful that the pandemic requires constant attention to "social distancing" and other measures to mitigate the spread of contagion.  Thank you for seeking to help others!

What can I do at home?

Volunteering begins at home. With many families remaining at home, organize your household so that all family members contribute as a family team. Prepare to shelter-in-place by working as a family to follow the basic preparedness steps found in the Citizens Guide to Emergencies.

With schools closed, your children can "volunteer" to help with household chores, cooking, or managing pets. And take special care with aging or disabled family members who may need extra assistance. If a family member may have been exposed to the coronavirus, follow guidance from our County Department of Health.

How can I help my neighbors?

All citizens should take this opportunity to meet their neighbors, if they haven't yet done so, and work together as a neighborhood. Volunteer to keep an eye on neighbors who may have chronic illnesses or disabilities, older individuals who may be isolated, those with large families, or those temporarily without an income during the crisis. Community, homeowner, or condo associations are good places to start taking stock of potential needs and assess neighborhood capabilities.

The Guide to Emergency Planning for Communities can help neighborhoods self-organize for this and future emergencies.

Scoop the Poop!

Judging from the increased number of dog walkers since the Governor's Stay at Home Order was announced, I think it's safe to say that our pets are really enjoying these otherwise troubling times. I have certainly been taking solace in peaceful walks to Twin Oaks Park with our pooches. Unfortunately, the increase in dog walking appears to be accompanied by an increase in pet waste in some areas. Pet waste is a threat to human health and the health of the Bay, and it's no fun for those trying to keep their lawns well maintained. Please take a couple of extra bags with you when you walk your pet(s), and dispose of the waste properly.  Here's some good guidance from the Maryland Department of the Environment on this topic (and some fun photos of pooches whose owners have taken the Scoop the Poop Pledge):

Updated Info on Recycling

From the Anne Arundel County Public Works Dep website:
(https://www.aacounty.org/departments/public-works/)

From Richard Bowen, Manager, Recycling & Waste Reduction Division of the Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works - Waste Management Services:

As you know, most County households use the Yellow Cart for recycling.  The Yellow Cart does a great job of containerizing loose recyclables and the wheels make it easy to place at the curb for collection.  

Another useful feature is the label located on top of the Yellow Cart's lid.  The label provides important information on what is and isn't accepted within the curbside recycling program.  However, the labels on Yellow Carts distributed prior to August 2017 have some incorrect information and need to be updated.

You can download the current cart label for your use here, or just click on the image below, then save it. It can be downloaded to your phone or tablet for quick reference; or you could print and post it in areas within the home where recyclables are collected.

If you prefer to have the actual adhesive label to place over the outdated one, we have them available for pickup at 2662 Riva Road, Suite 490, Annapolis, MD 21401.

[Note:  As an alternative while the Stay at Home Order is in effect, I can have a quantity of the decals mailed by the County to a Community representative that is willing to handle distribution. If you're interested in helping out with this, please send your name and mailing address to CampusGreenAssoc@gmail.com ]

For other recycling cart issues or repair needs, please visit https://www.aacounty.org/services-and-programs/recycling-container-requests or call 410-222-6100, Monday-Friday, 7:30 am - 4:00 pm.
