Dryer lint screens only catch roughly 25% of the lint. The remaining 75% goes into the dryer vent and sticks to the walls. The U.S. Fire Administration (part of FEMA) cites that there are 2900 home clothes dryer fires every year resulting in an estimated $35 million in property loss. And the leading cause? Failure to clean them.

 

 

With regards to trash and winter weather, Waste Management (via McCandless Twp.) states the following policy:

"On the rare occasion that snow or ice prevents collection on the scheduled day, collection will be made on the next weekday. Residents are responsible for clearing snow and ice in order to provide for visibility and access to carts, bags, and other material. Residents who contract for backyard service are required to provide access, clear of snow and ice, that allows maneuverability of carts. If the hauler determines that access is not possible, they may request that trash be placed adjacent to the public roadway. Clear the snow as you normally do, including the area where you place your carts for pickup. Keep the lids closed to prevent snow and ice from accumulating inside, as drivers will not reach into your cart to remove any items that are frozen to the bottom."
