Does anyone know what stupid jackass put the large brass bedroom furniture
in the dumpster? It has caused the dumpster to become obstructed again, and
the trash is piling up. Perhaps we can check with anyone who is presently in
the process of moving in or out or remodeling to see if the furniture
belongs to him/her, so that (s)he can remove it and discard of it properly.
We have repeatedly informed residents that the dumpster is not to be used to
discard large items like old furniture and boxes. Can the Board put a
large laminated sign on the front of the dumpster to remind residents of the
rules? We don't need to keep spending HOA fees on avoidable dumpster
repairs.
Thank you,

Thanks to the board for following up to fix the dumpster. I really
appreciate your service. Having the trash hauled away from the premises is
also important to eradicate the rodent infestation. Do we know the
schedule or how often the trash is hauled away from the dumpster?
I agree that we should all do our part to throw trash bags inside the
dumpster and push the button to start the compactor when several bags are
beginning to pile up. I don't think that being petite is an excuse for
non-compliance. I am petite and I have an injured wrist, but I still make
it a point to throw my trash bags all the way into the dumpster.
Typically, I don't let my trash pile up to the point that it is too heavy
to toss in, and alternatively, I transfer some of the trash into separate
bags to make them light enough to handle. Quite frankly, I get upset when
I open the dumpster and see a trash bag sitting in the shoot, because that
makes it more difficult for me to throw my bags in. It is convenient to
have the broom handle present. But if it isn't present, residents who
struggle with their bags may want to drive or walk to the dumpster with
their own broom or mop handle to move their bags in, since I think that the
HOA can impose fines for such violations.
As for the rodent issue, I am still hearing rodents running in the walls. I
can't sleep when I hear them bumping in the walls and vents...and thus, I'm
awake sending this email. I will reach out to the exterminator again.

There used to be a broom handle or some kind of stick to help push trash
bags in if you couldn't get it all the way in on the first try. Last time I
checked, I didn't see it. No offense, but I'm not crawling into a dumpster
to push it all the way in those rare cases, and I assume the next time
someone throws a trash bag in, they can knock in mine, too. (that's what I
do, anyway, if I have more than one bag.) Not lazy, just not 100%
accurate... and short. :-P

Folk need to make sure their trash goes all the way in. I cannot believe
that people leave trash hanging. Maybe they cannot throw it far enough into
the compactor but if that's the case, why not throw in smaller bags? Lazy
if you ask me. Well done to the people that do the right thing.

The regular dumpster is up and running. I just used it with no issues. It
would help if residents made sure trash made it in the shoot and run the
compactor. It was starting to over fill only because no one had run the
compactor after throwing there trash in.

Is there a pick up schedule for this open top garbage dumpster? It is now
full and will soon run over. Is there any word on how long it will be
before the regular dumpster is fixed? The open top is an eyesore.

I've never seen the trash looking so bad. I worry about an increase in
vermin die to the overflow.
Anyone know what's going on with the trash?

The trash overflows and rodent infestation are recurring problems that are
not being consistently monitored and prevented. Can someone explain the
difficulties involved in scheduling more frequent trash pickup and
exterminating services. I don't care if we cut back on the pine straw
placed around the bushes. But not having trash overflow & a rat
infestation are HUGE issues for me. I'm over this.

If there is nothing in the traps, that's good as long as you are not
hearing the noise in the wall. Part of the proactive measure was what we
had done on our visit last week, when we found the hole they were getting
into at the air conditioning lines. The trapping inside and trap checks is
to catch anything that may be in the bldg after the holes are sealed. Ken
and myself are going to put together a proactive solution for the outside
to help thin the population, but at the same time you have to understand
that no one has control over the actions of the animals. Dennis and myself
will do anything that we can to make y'all comfortable in your homes ,
but at the same time keep in touch so that we know what is happening on
the inside. Thanks
Brian
Thanks,
Highland Board
