Rules & Tips
- Rule for Trash: Place materials curbside on the morning of pick-up, not the night before. If you miss the pick-up window, you are responsible for removing your trash from the common areas until the next pick-up day
- Rules for Recycling: Materials must be separated into paper and plastic/aluminum.
- Tip for reducing animal interference: Do not place trash outside the night before and use black trash bags to deter rummaging animals. For extra protection, place a few drops of vinegar into the bag to neutralize strong odors. If animals get into your trash, you are responsible for cleaning up the debris.
Bulk Trash
A bulk pick up is any non-recyclable item that cannot fit into your trash can. All metal items, cardboard/paper and/or commingle (bottles, cans, glass, aluminum, etc.). Every unit has two complimentary bulk pick-ups per year.
To properly dispose of bulk trash, you must take the following steps:
- Schedule a pick-up with RRR: Click Here
- Take the contents of your debris outside on the DAY OF the scheduled pick up, NOT before.
- Under no circumstances should bulk trash remain on the grounds prior to or beyond the day of scheduled pick-up. Otherwise a violation will be sent to the unit responsible.
If you witness a trash violation, please contact TMGA to report.
