Overview
Proper garbage disposal habits are imperative in maintaining a clean and sanitary environment. The best form of pest control is prevention.
Garbage and/or Recyclables may be taken directly to the 2nd floor loading dock and placed in the proper receptacle or you may use the garbage/recycle room located on your floor.
Garbage & Recycling Rooms
We are committed to recycling and we expect each resident to actively participate in the program.
Each floor (excluding the main floor), has a garbage/recycle room. For the consideration of other residents, use these rooms between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. and dispose of items as quietly as possible. Nothing is to be left on the floor in the room.
Please dispose of garbage in the plastic garbage containers and the paper products and recyclable containers in the appropriate blue box. Garbage must be properly bound, packaged, bagged and sealed to prevent any undue odour or mess. All garbage must be placed in one of the provided garbage bins. Do not leave garbage on the floor.
Kitty litter and bulk items must be delivered to the loading dock on the second floor.
