Fireworks: Fireworks cause forest fires. The lighting of fireworks is absolutely FORBIDDEN at the cottage. Any renter caught lighting fireworks will be immediately evicted.
Waste Disposal: At the driveway's end, you'll find a bear-proof bin. Never leave garbage outside the cottage unless it is in the bear bin. You can put up to two standard-sized garbage bags and unlimited recycling in the bin. Our waste collection happens every Monday morning. To ensure pickup, please place your garbage in the bin before 8:00 AM on Monday and raise the red indicator to notify the sanitation crew. Please securely latch the lid to prevent wildlife entering the bin. If you generate more than two bags of garbage during your stay, don't worry. Kindly transport any extra waste to the local disposal sites (hours and locations found later in the binder.) Any garbage left at the cottage will result in a $80.00 disposal charge.
