This is a big reason "tanglers" can't go in your recycling bin.
Not only are they not recyclable, but they really grind our gears and need to be cut out by hand.
Please keep chains, cords, ropes, cables, etc. out of the bin!

North Yarmouth Residents, We are asking for your help. We have all been effected by natural disasters over the last few years. This includes: wind storms, major snow storms, power outages, floods, etc.
As CCEMA completes the Cumberland County Hazard Mitigation Plan’s five-year update, we are asking for your input. Residents of Cumberland County know the local hazards best, so we'd like to hear from you! We've developed a brief survey for residents, business owners, and community partners to share what concerns them the most about potential disasters. The survey can be found at http://cumberlandcounty.org/hazardmitigation
Please consider taking a few moments to respond to this survey before it closes on June 30th. Answers will help the Planning Committee prioritize the community’s concerns and questions about the Hazard Mitigation Plan, guide discussions during the revision process, and direct future outreach and education programs.
For more information regarding Hazard Mitigation, please visit cumberlandcounty.org/ema
