Greetings, all,
We hope everyone is enjoying spring so far this year. It’s a great time to start working on outside projects for your house and lawns. To help promote this activity, which makes the entire neighborhood look better, we’re organizing a Neighborhood Cleanup starting on Friday, April 8th until Friday, April 15th. We’ve contacted Waste Management to have a dumpster delivered to the commons area across from 129 S. Forestview. All homeowners are encouraged to bring any unnecessary junk or yard debris to be dumped. However, there are a few guidelines on what is permitted. Hazardous materials or anything that would not normally be allowed in your trash cart cannot be disposed of in the dumpster. This includes things like:
- Aerosol cans
- All liquids
- Animals
- Antifreeze
- Appliances
- Asbestos
- Barrels
- Batteries
- Chemical products
- Computers
- Contaminated oils (mixed with solvents, gasoline, etc.)
- Dirt
- Fluorescent tubes
- Food Waste
- Hazardous waste
- Herbicides & pesticides
- Industrial waste
- Lubricating/hydraulic oil
- Medical waste
- Microwaves
- Monitors
- Motor oil
- Oil filters
- Other flammable liquids
- Paint (except completely dried latex paint cans, no liquids)
- Petroleum-contaminated soil/lead paint chips
- Propane tanks
- Radioactive material
- Railroad ties
- Solvents
- Televisions
- Tires
- Transmission oil
In addition, it is absolutely critical that the dumpster is not overfilled; nothing is allowed to protrude from the top. We will be monitoring the dumpster and if it fills up during the week, we will have it emptied.
We hope to see everyone out and about during the week and making use of this amenity, or otherwise just interacting with your neighbors. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

To bad we didn’t have it over the weekend. I have no one to help me during the week.
I’m sorry to hear that, Mary. Next year, I set up the dumpster to be Monday – Monday, instead of Friday – Friday, such that we have it the weekend right before they pick it up (allowing everyone time to prepare through the week). I’ll also include a note about reaching out to ask for help, as I and many others would gladly assist.
Thanks Patrick. My neighbors help on many occasions and I hire out most projects, when possible.
