A poplular topic for all meetings is trash collection, and, once again, the Board is hoping for homeowner involvement in establishing one trash service for Filing 3. Why? The simple answer is that homeowners continue to complain about the number of trash trucks that cruise through the neighborhood on an almost-daily basis. Sometimes, this means more than one service provider entering the neighborhood on any given day . . . and then there are the extra trips for recycling and special
pick-ups.
Are homeowners frustrated about this? The answer is a resounding YES!
​
Well, then, what's the answer??? ------------------------>

​
Board President, Helen Kamin, has gathered quotes from the three main RF3 trash service providers; Waste Management, Republic, and BCD. Here is how they compare:
​

Rate includes all fees, except RMO, and ADMIN Charges, and will be detailed on the invoice to show totals. RMO will fluctuate based on commodity value and the recycle market and could appear as either a charge or credit. Currently $1.63 per home per month.
