Please prepare your recycling by removing lids from all containers; accepting bring all types of plastics, including grocery bags and heavy plastics, and separate them by clear, milk and colored containers; crush your aluminum cans and lay flat your extra cardboard that is not being used as containers for your recyclables. $50 peso donation is appreciated - or be as generous as you like :) After the recyclables depart, we will be painting the recycling containment center - many hands make for light work and we will be grateful for your help and support to complete the center!

Some of you may already know that as of Jan 1 2012, I am retired from the Pest Control business. I am hoping to have an alternate source to recommend in the near future. Meanwhile, I have a ton of keys from clients throughout the years. Some have ID’s and some don’t. I don’t have many of the contact info to individually let everyone know, so this is it. If you believe I may have keys of yours ,please let me know what you want me to do with them. I will try to be home every evening around 5 o'clock if you care to stop by and retrieve your keys. As always your keys are safe with me, I just don’t need them anymore. Ninety Nine % of my clients are also very dear friends and so from my heart, “Thanks so very much for allowing me to be of service”.   Allen Mason    masonal@prodigy.net.mx
