Recycling
Recycling – Unfortunately, Republic Services did not show on their scheduled day nor did they inform us of any problems why they did not show. We have contacted their customer service and they have scheduled Tuesday, December 8th for recycle pickup.
We have calls in to the management staff to register yet another complaint about the lack of communication from Republic.
All recycling materials must be placed loose in the bin, those items include; recycling of paper, cleaned plastic, cleaned glass and cardboard, all free of any food residue.
If your items are in plastic bags, this is considered contamination of the recycling process and the truck’s contents are considered trash.
You can either take the items out of the bag and place them in your bin for recycling, or you should put a sign on the recycling bin that indicates this is trash and it will be picked up on Monday 12/14.
Please share this with you neighbors who do not have email.

Results of Tropical Storm Isaias
After the storm on Tuesday, a number of homeowners are missing either a trash bin or recycle bin. Every homeowner is entitled to one trash bin and one recycle bin provided by Republic Services; unless a homeowner has requested and paid for extra bins through the Cape Windsor Board
If you acquired an extra container as a result of the storm or by any other means and not paid for it, please return the bin/s on Sunday 8/9. Place them close to the building outside of the pool area and a Board member will redistribute.
Each homeowner is asked to secure and to place their address on the two containers you have been allocated.
Pets – Ongoing Problem
The Board receives complaints weekly regarding pets. Remember, it is the law to leash your pet when outside of your property.
Listed are the complaints received:
- Pet waste not being picked up.
- Pets being walked on neighbors’ lawns and allowed to go to the bathroom, killing grass and leaving waste. Corner lots on Old Rt. 54 are private property, therefore no pets.
- Pets not leashed when walking outside of the owner’s property.
- Cats roaming freely, they also need to be leashed or kept inside the owner’s home. Reports of two attacks to small dogs have been received from a cat not managed by the owner.
- Constant barking of dog’s day and night
