The board in in discussions with a possible new trash company to service our community. If all of the details are agreed upon by both parties this is what we will be getting for $30 a month:
- The same size trash and recycle cans – 96 gallon for trash and one 64 gallon for recycling
- New trash pickup day – Wednesday mornings for both types (put out Tuesday night)
- Locked in price for three years
- No additional cost for yard waste
We will also have the option for a twice per week pickup for $7 dollars additional – it is a decision that needs to be made for everyone – not just some once a week and some twice. Currently 73 out of possible 100 houses are using Patriot Disposal. If I get email from 44 folks (60%) saying that they want twice a week pickup that is what we go with and the same for once a week – first one to 44 is what we go with. If I do not get a 60% vote either way we will stick with once per week pickup. Please send your name, address and if you want once or twice a week trash pickup to president@gailawoods.com to participate. I will post the counts here as they come in once the names and addresses are matched up to our database.

UPDATE 8/2: Looks like we will be looking at once per week pickup for trash and recycling. Stay tuned for more info regarding change over procedure. We are going to continue with Patriot until the last pickup day in September (9/29). Patriot will pick up their trash cans on their last pickup date for trash and recycling.
