Cleaning up parks has its own reward and you can see it clearly on a bright summer day when folks turn out to enjoy the surroundings. But that doesn’t mean the cleaning team can’t be recognized for all their efforts. Back in 2012, a group of volunteers formed the Park Ridge Green Team and set out to pick up debris from Pascack and Mill Brooks plus the Mill Pond. By the end of the day they had gathered up 760 pounds of trash and over 500 pounds of recyclables. That didn’t stop there. The following year, the team reached out to neighboring Rockland communities for a bigger cleanup day. That lead to 173 volunteers showing up to pitch in and 2,500 pounds of trash being collected. Clearly, this is a group who loves cleaning up. As a result of their hard work the Green Team was given a special award from the state.

The most important thing to keep in mind as you prepare to move into a new home is don’t procrastinate. The last thing you want is for moving day to arrive and you’re scrambling to pack up items. This is how stuff gets broken or left behind. The moving clock should really start ticking 30 days out from the official move date. At the 30 day mark you should be gathering up packing supplies like boxes and wrapping paper. You’ll probably end up using more than you think. This is why you should consider renting plastic containers. For about the same amount as you would pay for moving boxes, you can have plastic bins dropped off at your home for the move. Best of all, all that cardboard won’t be going to waste.
How many rooms do you really need in your home? Put aside the idea of raising a family. If the kids have all gone off to start their own lives what are you left with? Conceivably you make the journey from your bedroom to the bathroom to the kitchen to the living room. For all practical purposes you’re only utilizing the space of one bedroom apartment. Yes, it might be a benefit to have a spare room for visiting family but then that would just a be a two bedroom apartment. Do you really need all the other space? You’re paying for maintenance on all those extra rooms plus the landscaping. That’s a lot of work especially if you were hoping to slow things down a bit as you head into retirement. Perhaps now is the time to think about downsizing.
