On 11/1/2011, management instituted a very restrictive garbage collection policy - they pick up 5 days a week, but they only allow bagged garbage that fits in one 13-gallon bag (in their Hefty container). This is regardless if you have a 1,2,3 or 4 -bedroom unit. You can pile recyclables in 1 bag and "only put it on top of the Hefty container", but it is so narrow it would topple off if you put much in. Everything else must be "gift-wrapped" - tied up. All of this is due them contracting with a garbage guy who uses an open pickup truck and trailer, and therefore probably loses stuff that is not all nice and tidy. He should have an enclosed truck instead. So what is everyone supposed to do after Christmas? New Year? Thanksgiving? A football gathering? A family with 2 kids in any week? And oh yes, if after a couple warnings you don't obey, THE GARBAGE GUY SLAPS YOU WITH A $25 FINE!! You can decide for yourself if you want to live with these restrictions.
