Trash and Recycling Disposal Policy

Adopted: October 8, 2013

The 1600 Hamilton Place Community Association provides trash enclosures for the use of residents. Each trash enclosure contains at least two dumpsters. Items being disposed should be separated with recyclables placed in the white recycling dumpster and non-recyclables placed in the green waste dumpster. Yard waste should never be placed in either dumpster, but placed on the street at a designated green waste collection point no earlier than a day before collection on Wednesday morning.

As indicated by the signage in each enclosure, all cardboard boxes placed in a recyclable dumpster must be broken down to take up as little space as possible so as to leave room for other residents and to avoid an overflow condition that will require the HOA to pay extra to have it removed. If the recyclable dumpster is full, a nearby dumpster should be used. Cardboard boxes that are not broken down should never be left in a dumpster or inside a trash enclosure. All trash should be placed in the appropriate dumpster and no trash should be left outside the trash enclosure.

Here is a document that explains what is recyclable and what is not recyclable: Recycling Do's and Don'ts.

Residents who violate this policy will be cited with a warning letter reminding them of the procedures to be followed regarding trash disposal and informing them that a repeat violation may be subject to assessment of a fine.
