Beginning January 1, 2010, residents in the Twin Cities area who bag their yard and organic waste will be required to use compostable bags, either paper or compostable plastic. This will affect all residents in Deephaven. Your yard waste pick-up service will no longer take non-compostable plastic bags that you worked so hard to fill - and it's illegal to place yard waste in the trash. Compostable bags should clearly state that they meet standards for composting. Bags marked "biodegradable" or "degradable" do not meet the state law. Look for the word "compostable" on the box. The words "lawn and leaf" or "yard waste" do not guarantee that the bag is compostable. Visually, compostable plastic bags are usually clear or tinted an opaque shade of green, white, or pink, compared to traditional black plastic bags. For more information on the new compostable plastic bag requirements and how they will affect you, visit www.RethinkRecycling.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ JAPANESE BEETLES - Prevention Information & Resident Feedback Request Deephaven has received a bid to treat the public parks in an attempt to control the infestation of Japanese Beetles in the city parks. Research has shown that the best way to treat the infestation of Japanese Beetles is to control the beetles through broad involvement of neighborhoods. This means residents need to take measures on their own property for the beetles and grubs. We are exploring options for controlling the spread of Japanese Beetles and would be interested in citizen input as we move forward in considering our options. Japanese beetles are a devastating pest to landscape plants. They have no enemies, are impervious to cold and are attracted to roses, fruit trees and gardens. These insects damage plants by eating the surface material, leaving the veins in place, producing a "transparent leaf" effect. Japanese Beetle damage can be significant, leaving large tracks of trees defoliated, with significant tree kill. Please click on the following articles for further information.
