Recycle carts with “non-recyclable materials will not be emptied. Individuals will have to sort their carts before the next recycle day in order for them to be emptied. Proper recycling may increase your actual garbage and exceed your current garbage carts capacity. A larger garbage cart can be obtained, at an additional cost, by calling the Florentine office. Typically, it will be delivered the following Monday by CTR.

Coyote Information from ODFW
The links websites and flyer below were provided by the Assistant District Wildlife Biologist for ODFW in the Newport Office.
Coyotes are a native species well adapted to urban ecosystems. It is not unusual to see them in urban areas, even during the daytime. Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to avoiding, minimizing or correcting problems with coyotes.
If a coyote approaches you or your pet, leave the area. Report aggressive coyotes to ODFW (541-867-4741) or Oregon State Police (541-997-9635).

Useful Evacuation Packing Recommendations, Wildfire or Otherwise
The office was given a handout from a homeowner who received it from an Emergency Coastal Town Hall meeting. Although the fires across the state are getting under control, "evacuation packing recommendations" in the handout would work for most instances for evacuating your homes. I have linked the pages below.

Telephone Scams/Solicitations (2019)

From time to time the office hears from different residents regarding calls they receive from solicitors. Some appear to be legitimate others obvious scams. The office has no way of knowing what is a scam or legitimate for certain.
There is a lot of consumer advice on how to protect yourself from phone scams as well online security available at the Federal Trade Commission website (Click here to view FTC info). The consumer information available here is very informative and easy to read. It outlines several different things to look for and questions to ask when you receive a call you might believe to ba a scam. The site also has a link to file a complaint online with step by step questions. There is also a number to call, 1-888-382-1222.
