Clean Bear Site #2 is/was slated for relocacation to city property on Cienaga south of the Blvd, where accident was earlier this week. If talking about BBDisposal, i believe you still have to call in those extra bags, not picked up automaticllay I seem to remember. In BBC we don't even get the option. I can't even throw away a pine cone or the random weed just pulled up. Ridiculous.
HIB, I called Big Bear Disposal, and you can now set out up to 15 bags of pine needles for curb side pickup if you don't want to drive out the Clean site #1. I get the feeling that they will eventually close down Site #2 (across from City Hall.
I'm looking to have some electrical work done (specifically a main panel replacement); any recommendations on an electrician up here? I'm in the Gliner Point area.
