The Duster Problem

The Duster Problem

Just after writing about the bugs and sweeping, I went out and then saw someone adding to the balcony problem.  Of course there is all the other garbage people throw from their balconies with the duster problem being the smallest of debris adding to the mix.  I feel for the largest balconies on the 4th floor of the Mayflower Tower being catch basins of garbage that cannot be used for fear of falling objects from above.  This is a problem still not solved, I believe.

Shaking the dust from your balcony is rude & inconsiderate for the other units and the general environment about the ground below.  I believe it is also against the rules.

Here is a suggestion, for small particles caught up in whatever duster you may use gently rub them off into that waste basket/can you should have in your unit.  For the general dust, washing off the duster will only add debris to the kitchen grease trap so best not to do it there.  You may shake off the duster behind a drawn curtain in the shower with all such matter then being washed down the drain at shower time.

Yes, there is no good way to deal with the dust since there is not a personal yard area to shake the duster.  The shower seems to be the only solution since many dusters cannot be washed and letting all the duster debris fall to the other balconies is rude & inconsiderate and to the ground is also not good especially for the pool.
