Durham, NC – North Carolina laws are becoming increasingly stringent regarding what is allowed in landfills across the state. As of July 1, televisions and computer equipment are banned from disposal in North Carolina’s landfills, as a result of a law passed last year by the General Assembly.
In response to the recent disposal ban, the Durham County General Services Department has scheduled an E-Waste Recycling Event for Durham County residents and businesses to safely dispose of electronics and confidential documents.
The event, co-sponsored with Creative Recycling Systems, Inc., will be held from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m., on Saturday, August 13, 2011, at the Durham County Memorial Stadium located at 402 Stadium Drive, Durham.

SUMMER VANDALISM
There have been several reports of minor vandalism in the neighborhood recently. Last week, a neighbor on Mystic had their mailbox bashed right off the post. They filed a police report. Today it was reported that the vehicles at 4 houses along Mystic were egged. The HOA will be contacting Durham PD to request additional police presence in the neighborhood. However, it is summer and kids are bored and apparently up to no good. If you see any unfamiliar people in the neighborhood, please don’t hesitate to question their presence! If you think there is suspicious activity call 911!

URGENT!
Master Officer Steve Hall from the Durham Police Department wants to remind you about scams:
"Just got off the phone with a concerned citizen and he stated that there were persons going door to door stating that they work for the Brinks Security Company and they are offering an upgrade for your keypad. They are well dressed, spoken and using a IPAD to seem professional. The Brinks Company has been contacted and they are NOT doing any type of promotion like this. Please be aware and if in doubt call 911."

Rabid Raccoon Found in Northern Durham
Northern Durham Residents Warned That Other Animals Could Be Affected.
Durham, NC – Late last week, Durham County Animal Control officials confirmed that a rabid raccoon found in Northern Durham County tested positive for rabies. The animal was located in the area of Falkirk Drive in the Heather Glenn subdivision.
The raccoon was killed by domestic dogs and submitted for rabies testing. While the animal has been removed from the community, officials from the Durham County Animal Control Office warn the public that rabies remains a present risk in the territorial boundaries of the County, particularly wildlife.
“Residents in Northern Durham should look out for other rabid animals by being aware of strange animals and protecting their domestic animals from rabies,” says Melinda Duarte, field supervisor for Durham County Animal Control.
Since the positive test, Durham County Animal Control has canvassed the neighborhood where the rabid raccoon was found. Residents in the immediate area received flyers to increase community awareness and remind animal owners about the importance of the rabies vaccination.
Animal control advises residents to protect their animals by getting the vaccination. It is recommended that dogs and cats four months of age and older are vaccinated against rabies. Durham County Animal Control provides low cost rabies vaccinations at the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays for $10.00 per animal. No appointment is necessary and citizens can bring their animals between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. and between the hours of 2-4 p.m.
Questions about the risk of rabies or wildlife in your area can be directed to the Animal Control Department at 919-560-0630 between the hours of 8:30a.m. and 5p.m., Monday through Friday.
For more information about the risk of rabies or wildlife in your area, contact the Animal Control Department at 919-560-0630, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5p.m., Monday through Friday.
