Complaints

We had one neighbor complaint about landscaping companies using the dumpsters. A board member checked it out and Centurion Landscaping had been hired by a neighbor at xxxx Camino Padre Isidoro and advised them to put her tree trimmings in the dumpster. 

The dumpster at Skyway/Michael required a board member to remove trash from the top so the dumpsters could be hauled away.

Reminder not to overfill the dumpsters as the board members are volunteers and are too old and not paid to be climbing on top of dumpsters. 

Notes for next year

  • Dump and transfer stations are closed at 1 on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. Despite being pulled and replaced Saturday morning, two dumpsters were filled by Sunday morning. Next year, we might consider having an additional dumpster or two placed nearby to handle the overflow over the weekend. Dumpsters cannot be pulled when there are items above the top. 

  • Put out a call for host locations in the fall so neighbors have a chance to volunteer their locations. 

  • Print a list of prohibited items, contact info and have them available the day they are delivered
