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!!!

Paving Project Update
WEATHER PERMITTING, THE POOL WILL BE OPENING FRIDAY, MAY 23RD AT 10:00AM
This is to let the community know, that a large paving project is taking place in front of buildings 305-311 beginning May 19th. The highlighted parking spaces are being rebuilt. The reason we are notifying you is because residents will need to find alternative locations for their vehicles. We have given them a few places they can park during this time, but they are free to park anywhere, as long as it is not an assigned space. The project is expected to take a few weeks, depending on weather and the contractors. We will keep you updated with any major changes. Please do not park in the highlighted area at all during the week of the 19th and the 26th. We will have no choice but to tow vehicles at the vehicle owner's expense if maintenance is impeded in order to keep this costly project moving. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this time.
