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.
