Dear Heatherwood Village Customer,

Village will be provided by Republic Waste Services, through a new agreement with the Heatherwood Village Community
Association. You will be receiving an invoice soon from Republic Waste for three months' billing (October through

2003 forward. |

As a friendly reminder, your yard waste should be placed at the curbside within
five (5) feet of the paved roadway, by 7:00 AM, and your household
waste should also be placed at the curbside in a waste container not exceeding 35 gallons or in a plastic

and tied in small bundles that can be lifted and handled by a single person. Bundles should be no larger than eighteen
inches (18") in diameter and weigh no more than fifty pounds (50#).
In the event that one of the collection days falls on a holiday, we will collect your waste on the
next regularly scheduled collection day (excluding Sunday). Scheduled holidays will include: Christmas Day,
New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Labor Day. In the event of an "Act of
God", we will collect your waste on the following scheduled collection day.
Republic Waste will collect and dispose of all your residential refuse unless restricted by law or if the item
would cause damage to the collection equipment. Listed are some items that are restricted: construction debris,
cross ties, tires, solvents, paint, petroleum products, pool chemicals, fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, hazardous
materials/chemicals, logs or stumps, car batteries, soil, rocks, concrete, medical waste, medical sharps and closed

yard waste and other white goods, appropriate for disposal shall be placed within five feet of the curbside

CURBSIDE RECYCLING GUIDELINES
|
|
| Pursuant to the new agreement between Republic Waste Services and the Heatherwood Village Community Association,
curbside recycling will be included in your community's solid waste management services. Each residence will be
provided with an eighteen-gallon plastic recycling bin. Recyclable items may be commingled in the bin, and sorting
will be done at the truck and the recycling center. Your weekly recycling day will be FRIDAY.
Please set your bin within five feet of your curb by 7:00 AM to assure service. |
|
|
RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
|
|
NEWSPAPER: Includes the newspaper itself and any glossy inserts that are included
with your Sunday paper. Please do not include other types of paper. Papers should not be tied or strapped together.
If the newspaper volume is such that the bin does not provide ample space, you may place the newspaper in a brown
paper bag and set it next to your bin. Wet newspaper is not acceptable.
PLASTIC: Plastic bottles and jugs that are marked with a No. 1 or No. 2 recycling
logo. This includes milk and water jugs, soda bottles, etc. Please remove caps and rinse the containers. There
is no need to remove labels.
ALUMINUM BEVERAGE CANS: Please rinse empty cans. Crushing the cans will provide additional
space for other materials in your recycling bin.
BI-METAL CANS: This includes your food (tin) cans. Please rinse empty cans. There
is no need to remove labels.
Glass will not currently be included in your curbside recycling program, due to the current local recycling market.
Should the market change and make the recycling of glass feasible again, you will be notified accordingly.
Should you have any questions or comments, please call us at 281-446-2030. We look
forward to being your service provider. |
