FALL PICNIC The BHV Fall Picnic will be held on Sunday afternoon September 7, 2014 beginning at 5:00 PM. Bring a side dish or dessert to share. Hot dog, brats, burgers, buns, condiments, lemonade, dishes and utensils will be provided. Also bring lawn chairs, blankets, games, etc. and plan to have a fun time with your BHV neighbors. Please RSVP to Jan Esch by September 3.
PLANNING COMMISSION The regular meeting of the BHV Planning Commission scheduled for Tuesday August 26, 2014 was cancelled due to lack of agenda items. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday November 18, 2014 at 6:30 at the Village Hall.
TRASH COLLECTION Due to the Labor Day holiday, regular trash collection will take place on Tuesday September 2, 2014. The collection dates will return to the normal schedule of first, third and fifth Mondays of the month on September 15.
HHW RECYCLING BINS If you weren’t able to attend last weekend’s distribution you can come to the Village Hall and pick up your free Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Recycling Bin during regular office hours (Monday-Thursday 8:30-11:30 AM). The bins will also be available at the September 7 picnic, or you can contact Jan Esch and arrange a pick up time that is best for you.
Along with the bin you will receive a list of the items that can be put in the bin—things like paint, cleaning products, lawn care products, old cell phones, batteries and light bulbs. Put the bin next to your regular trash cans and the BHV maintenance crew will take any HHW left in the bin on normal trash pick up days. Please note that the bin is only for HHW—the staff will not pick up regular recycling items like newspapers and tin cans. You must still bring these items down to the big green recycling unit at the maintenance yard.
The HHW recycling bin project was funded by a grant from the Washtenaw County Offices of Water Resources and Public Works, who partner with area municipalities to promote environmental awareness and protection of water resources. Information about the Washtenaw County RiverSafe Home program and prescription drug recycling are also included with the HHW bin distribution.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day!
