Trash Compactor Help!!!
Debbie P • December 9, 2019
Help us help you when it comes to properly disposing of trash at the compactor!
We continue having issues at the compactor in front of building 301. The problem is that residents are not taking the time to compact the trash when trash is brought to the compactor. This is causing an absolute nightmare for the residents and hours of unnecessary work for the maintenance staff which takes time away from handling your service requests. We also get non-residents that are using our compactors illegally. We are prosecuting a few of them for theft of services and gathering quote to secure the area.
When you throw your trash in the compactor, you must push the buttons to compact your trash. While holding in the red button, push the green button to activate the compactor. This will start the compactor’s cycle. You will need to hold the buttons for a few moments while you watch your trash be compacted. Once a few residents do not use the compactor buttons, the trash quickly starts to back up and then the area is a free-for-all. If you forget these instructions, there is a sign located directly above the buttons.
If you have large furniture items, please walk them onto the open top container, the one on the left, as far back as you can so that the next person can do the same. If you simply place your furniture right in the front, people then leave their items on the ground in front of the dumpster. This too becomes a nightmare.
The compactor is normally picked up on Fridays, but they were unable to grab the compactor last Friday due to snow. It is now completely full and it will not be picked up until tomorrow. We are asking that you wait to dispose of your garbage until Wednesday or the area will look exactly like it did today with trash overflowing into the street.
If you absolutely need to dispose of something, please use the compactor located in front of B Building at the Gardens. You can visit our website under the About Us page if you need to see a map and find where the compactor is located.
THANK YOU!!!

Due to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day falling on our regularly, scheduled pick up day, the Villas curbside trash will be delayed by one day. Your trash will be picked up on Tuesday the 20th then again on Thursday. Please do not bring your trash to curb too early. It should be brought out by 8:00am on the morning of pick up, not the evening before. Your normal schedule is Monday and Thursday, unless there is a holiday. We have been fining residents for bringing their garbage to the curb any other times than Monday or Thursday mornings due to the animals ripping into the bags and scattering the garbage all over. To avoid fines, simply bring the trash out the morning of. We are asking that everyone abide by these simple procedures to avoid any issues. If you do need to dispose of something outside of the Villa pick up times, please feel free to use the compactor or the stationary dumpster for larger items. If using the stationary dumpster, be sure to walk the items all the way to the back of the container so that others may dispose of large items too. Thank you.
Wishing You a Meaningful and Hope-Filled New Year
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Our Community to Yours
The Villa curbside trash will be picked up on Friday morning after Christmas.
Everyone at Twin Ponds would like to wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Halloween will be celebrated in Nashua on Friday, October 31st from 6pm to 8pm. If you live in one of the multi-family buildings, you cannot leave your porch light on for our little trick-or-treaters. Just print the photo below and put it on your door to let the little ghouls and goblins know you have goodies. If your kids are a little older and they are going out on their own, please show them this post so they are not knocking on doors without this sign on it. The Courtyards and the Villas have porch lights so this only applies for the three-story, multi-family buildings. Be sure to drive a little slower on Halloween and have a safe and fun Halloween.
Main water lines are scheduled to be flushed.
The Pool is Closed For The Season
Time to celebrate how much you love working by doing absolutely nothing.
Twin Ponds wishes you and your family a wonderful 4th of July weekend as you celebrate the independence of our country. Be safe and enjoy your time together.
