Recycling Services

The recycling collection point is located at 740 W

Warehouse Rd. There are

containers for paper (shredded and

whole), glass, cardboard, plastics

and aluminum cans. There are also

35 yellow dumpsters scattered

throughout post that accept paper,

plastics and cans. Please feel free to

drop off your recycling at any of

these locations.

BULK PICK UP

Bulk Pickup is available

every Monday. Please

remember to place your

bulk items by the curb no

later than 7:00 a.m. to

ensure that those items get

picked up.

Get Rid of the Winter Mucks

Get rid of leaves, twigs and other stuff

that’s made a home in your flower

beds. Clean them out and make sure

they are free from debris. Freshen them

up with mulch. Grass seed is available

at the Self Help Store for a minimal fee,

and can be picked up at Maintenance

building, located at 800 W. Warehouse

Road, Building 269.

Clean Windows & Blinds

Main level windows and window screens can be cleaned

by soaking them in a child’s wading pool filled with soapy

water, followed by a gentle

scrubbing with a soft scrub brush on

a flat surface. Rinse the screen with

a garden hose using a fine spray

setting to keep from damaging the

screen. Clean windows starting on

the outside and working your way in (so that you can see

what you’ve done). And don’t forget the blinds!

Get Your Grill Ready for Action

Use a wire brush and degreasing

detergent to clean the wire racks and

inside of the grill and remove any rust

that has formed over the winter. Clean

the surfaces of burners, and make sure

holes in the burners aren’t clogged. If

necessary, use a small piece of wire to

clean them out. **Grill should be

kept at least 15 feet from any building structure.**

Household Hazardous Waste Disposal & Re-use

The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Point (HHWC):

Environmental Division, Bldg. 80; 684-8980; 0700-1500 M-F. All

items are free to drop off and pickup with a simple

signature on the sign-in sheet. This is the place for almost

everything that is prohibited to transport during your PCS. If

you are just arriving, instead of buying everything new go by

and see if those that just PCS'd left behind something that

you can use. Example of items taken and re-issued: Anti-

freeze, Oil, Oil/Gas Mixtures, Oil Filters, Paint, Stripper,

Thinner, Spray Paint, Used Batteries (Lead-Acid, NiCad,

Alkaline, etc.), Cleansers, Furniture Polish and Car Wax.

Where to store your gas can

Please store gasoline in your garage,

never in your basement. Do not keep

gasoline anywhere near an

appliance that uses natural gas or

propane to include water heaters

and furnaces and always out of the

reach of children. Please refer to

your Resident Guidelines & Community Handbook for

additional information.

Pest Control

Pest control is available to all of our

residents. If you are having a pest issue,

contact the maintenance department

for a scheduled appointment.
