Dear Neighbors,
The Association is arranging a community dumpster for 8/21/26 to approximately 9/7/26. I apologize for the late notice so we will keep it long enough so everyone can utilize it. The base cost will be paid directly by the Association. Everyone must follow the rules as we will not spend the time to clean up other’s mess. Do not just throw items over the edge of the dumpster. Open the end door and walk as deep into the dumpster before emptying items. People who place them at the front will make the entire process much harder for everyone and waste our money. All items should be dumped/emptied into the dumpster. Do not place half full boxes in the dumpster or other items of mostly air (drawers, boxes, suitcases, etc.) Take the time to fill all containers fully, or empty the contents and break down the boxes to be flat. It’s not first come first served but it can’t be never ending either. The dumpster will be located in the circle of Quiet Brook.
The following items will cost extra and we will be relying on the honor system for homeowners to arrange payment to the Association.
- MATTRESSES/BOXSRPINGS $55
- FREON APPLIANCES (AC UNITS/FRIDGE/FREEZER) Not Allowed
- CAR BATTERIES Not Allowed
- PROPANE TANKS (MUST BE EMPTY) Not Allowed
If you have any large metal items, please place them next to the dumpster and we will arrange for a scrapper to recycle them (car parts, bed frames, etc.)
Tires, Hazardous materials (cleaning supplies, motor oil, etc.) or anything wet (liquids, paint cans, etc.) are NOT allowed in the dumpster. There may be an additional hazard charge.
Lastly, the dumpster is located near some of our neighbors’ homes and I implore you to show the utmost respect and keep the area extremely clean. There are few areas in front of the Association land and we didn’t want it near the entrance to discourage outsiders from illegal dumping.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Regards,
Steve
