Arden has strict garbage rules, so here’s the deal:

Sort your waste into trash, recycling, and organics
Tie up bags and leave them inside near the kitchen’s glass door
Please don’t leave garbage outside — the raccoons love that
Place used towels and bedsheets in the laundry basket
Make sure lights, fans, heaters, propane, and firepit are off before you go
