COMPACTOR MAINTENANCE

Once a week (typically on Friday afternoons), our Waste Removal vendor takes the full compactor, and replaces it with a new one. This process takes approximately two hours to complete. You can tell when this is occurring because the doors to the compactor area are left wide open.
If you open the compactor door and the compactor is missing, you must wait util a new compactor has been installed.
Be courteous and respectful. Do not leave trash outside of the compactor resulting in a pile up. It costs the community additional funds every time we need to hire someone to clean it all up.
