Garbage

Many residents have complained that the garbage dumpsters have often not been picked up as scheduled. While it is true that this does happen, it is important to know that the primary reason for garbage not being picked up is because of improper disposal. In cases where improper disposal is evident the driver may ignore the dumpster site and drive on.
This is because attempting to pick up the dumpster may cause a larger problem. The spillage and breakage that could result from items falling off or away from the dumpster is a safety hazard on several levels, including:

• Broken glass

• Sanitation, Hygiene and Odor

• Food Waste Attracting Vermin and Other Undesirable vectors
  
  

Please note the garbage collection services WILL NOT empty the dumpsters if:

• Refrigerators are discarded.

• Mattresses are discarded

• Bicycles are discarded.

• Articles are discarded that cannot be processed by the truck or the disposal site.
• Garbage is overloaded or piled high on top ofthe dumpster.

• Garbage is left to the sides or behind the dumpster within the dumpster area.
• Anything is blocking the dumpster or obstructs the smooth lifting of the dumpsters.
• Any reasonable danger is apparent.

If the dumpster nearest your home is full, take the initiative to take your trash to another nearby dumpster location. All residents are required to dispose of their garbage appropriately. Further, residents are required to take full responsibility on their own for disposal of large items and any other items requiring special handling. Monetary fines and a suspension of common area privileges may be imposed for improper disposal of garbage.
