What happens when a bike hits a recycling cart? It turns into a DE-cycling cart. 🙃 That joke might be funny - running into a cart in the road is not.

As the weather gets nicer, we see more bikes on the road. Please remember to keep bikers and walkers safe. If you need put garbage and recycling carts in a bike lane or other right-of-way, please remove them as soon as possible after collection.

Thank you and happy National Bike Month!
🚲🚲🚲
Con la llegada del buen tiempo, vemos más bicicletas en la carretera. Recuerden estar al tanto de la seguridad de ciclistas y peatones. Si tienes que colocar carritos de basura y reciclaje en un carril para bicicletas u otra vía pública, retíralos lo antes posible después de la recolección. ¡Gracias y feliz mes nacional de la bicicleta!

Strawberry season is upon us! Moisture is the biggest contributor to rotting berries, so don't wash until you're ready to eat. You can also try rinsing in a vinegar-water solution and then drying them for the longest shelf life. Remove any rotting ones immediately.
🍓🍓🍓
¡La temporada de fresas ya llega! La humedad es el factor que más contribuye a que las bayas y moras se pudran, así que no se lave hasta que esté listo para comer. También puede intentar enjuagarlas con una solución de vinagre y agua y luego secarlos para que tengan una vida útil más larga. Elimine los que estén podridos inmediatamente.

Because there's nothing worse than buying fresh strawberries only for them to go to waste.
