Those of you in the community who use Patriot Disposal for their trash and recycling services have already received or will soon be getting a letter from them explaining that as of September 30th they are no longer providing service for our community. The board is already working on alternative solutions and will be updating this posting when we have more information to share.
UPDATE (7/20/2021): We are working with a couple different companies right now to replace Patriot. Please DO NOT try to find a company yourself – the reason the HOA is working on this for the community as a whole instead of as individuals is to make sure that whatever company services Gaila Woods agrees to only use smaller trash trucks. The normal size trucks (and larger) will destroy the roads due to their weight and because our roads are of tar/chip construction.
UPDATE (7/21/2021): I called Patriot regarding the last two Tuesday morning trash pickups that were missed and they assured me that it was in no way related to the September 30th cut-off date. The have had 10 different employees suffer from heat related issues on both days and were not able to finish their routes. I also have been promised that if it happens again that the board will get notified.
