Trash & Recycling

Today must have been another windy recycling day because it was another day of recycling spread throughout the yards and wooden areas. I am glad people recycle, but to really recycle the items have to get into the recycling truck and get to the recycling center. For that to happen, people need to pack their recycling bins better. And if you just had an unlucky day and the wind targeted your bin with force, please pitch in and pick up.

Yes! Since picking up trash in the wooded areas and common grounds is not included in our monthly HOA payment, it is up to each homeowner to do their part. From the looks of the wooded area at the end of my street, that doesn't appear to be the case. I just spent considerable time picking up someone else's recycleables.

The covered recycling toters will help tremendously with this problem! Please see the thread "New Recycling Toters are on the Way" for more information http://www.broadlandshoa.org/hoaforu...ad.php?t=26628

I wish we had the room for this. If only I had not bought that upright compressor to blow out the sprinklers...

I imagine people would take a smaller one with a lid though. We currently keep the black one in the kitchen (OJ containers and the like), and a blue container for paper in the garage with a lid. The amount of junk mail we get is truly impressive.

Also note that Navy Federal has a shred coming up in May at Ice Rink. I have two boxes of stuff I've been saving.
