Dear Residents and Friends of Sullivan's Island: 
Memorial Day Weekend is here and that means summer!  Please note the holiday trash collection schedule for next week. Residents, the Sand Dunes Club pool opens next week on May 30th.  With two named tropical storms before June, now is the best time to get prepared for hurricane season.  Sullivan's Island is teaming up with Isle of Palms to hold a Disaster Preparedness Expo on June 13th (see details in this newsletter).  The SI Lighthouse turns "50" and Park Rangers have planned a birthday celebration on June 16th.  Finally, please plan to support your Fire & Rescue Squad by participating in one or both of their June fundraising events:  Floppin' Flounder Race/Walk on June 16th or Fish Fry on June 30th.  As always, we encourage you to check our website often for updated news and events. 

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!

Yard Notes & Tips
 
Doing yard work? Keep these guidelines in mind:
  
RIGHTS-OF-WAY: No plants, fences, structures  or obstructions are allowed in the right-of-way. 
NO PLASTIC BAGS: Charleston County accepts
clippings in paper bags but will no longer collect items in plastic bags. 
CUT limb sizes down: 4 feet or less
PACE YOURSELF: Town Contractor, Suburban Disposal, can only pick up small piles of yard debris from each home each week.  Put out small piles each week to ensure it all gets picked up.  
CURB IT: Yard debris is placed at the end of your curb on Tuesday evening for pick-up on Wednesdays.
CONTRACTORS: Carry it away.
If you hire a landscape contractor, the contractor must haul away the debris.  
NOTE: Suburban Disposal does not pick up yard debris on vacant lots or on lots where it appears a contractor has worked.
