     This message pertains to Rainberry Bay Villas
owners and residents that utilize dumpsters for
refuse removal.
     We have discovered that many owners are
disposing of pet feces without properly bagging into
the Villas dumpster containers.
     We ask all pet owners to please properly bag
your pet feces and then, place it into the dumpster
container.
      The odor does effect the surrounding neighbors
and deorderizers do not eliminate the odor. We ask
that you please be considerate to your neighbors so
that we can all enjoy a peaceful and beautiful
environment.
     Thank you again for your cooperation.
