It’s darker in the mornings for our regular walks. Yet we have the benefit of catching the sunrise even if we get a late start!
Effective Spring 2023, both Avalon and Stone Harbor will implement new trash and recycling container requirements.
Stone Harbor:
“Standardizing trash can size to 64 gallons (31.8†long x 24.25†wide x 41.75†high), equipped with wheels and a bar that allows the can to be tipped into the truck. The Borough will provide a list of retailers where homeowners can purchase the cans. Required compliance is set for May 1, 2023”.
Avalon:
“As previously announced, the Borough intends to purchase and distribute new, uniform roll off solid waste and recycling carts for the community in 2023. These roll off carts will improve efficiency with trash collection while restricting trash from impacting the marine environment”.
Property owners in both towns are reminded to remove non-compliant containers prior to the summer season so tenants/guests do not inadvertently use the wrong trash or recycle cans. Â Bulk trash pick up in early May will be an ideal time for disposal of old cans.
The remnants of Ian buddied up with an annoying coastal low…and gave us 6 days of rain and some moderate tidal flooding.
Happy for a warm and sunny day!
But of course my thoughts are with the residents of Florida.
So many people in our community have connections (as either property owners or regular visitors)Â to the areas devastated by the hurricane . Â We recognize the landmarks and share their heartbreak.
The “colors” of fall at the beach:
The orange bills of American oyster catchers along the water’s edge (and a stunning sunrise back drop).
Goldenrod blooming in the dunes attracting Monarch butterflies.
The pop of white fur in the center islands (or meandering a few feet in front of you) as the island skunks emerge on our quieter streets!
Even before Labor Day, we are preparing for Summer of 2023!
Over the past 3 summers, there was high demand for rental properties; and the length of our season was extended.
This increased interest allowed property owners to bump up rates. Â And while some long time renters complained, they continued with their leases because the shore was still their best option for a family vacation.
For 2023, I believe a more conservative approach is best. Â School and sport camps are back to regular schedules (therefore creating a shorter season). Â And travel opportunities are once again competing for vacation dollars.
A tenant understands a modest increase to cover the rising costs of utilities, cleaning, and improvements to the home. Â Yet quality repeat tenants also want to feel appreciated!
