Due to the large accumulation of discarded Televisions behind the maintenance area (about 30 so far) we will not be picking up old TV’s as trash from this date forward.
As a business, we cannot simply go to the landfill; they consider the HOA as a commercial entity and refuse to let us drop off these TV’s. I know because I have already tried to dispose of them at the landfill.
We cannot put them into the Compactor, either, without facing a huge fine. We will probably have to take these 30 TV’s we now have to a facility in the DFW area that will accept TV’s from commercial entities.
For those of you with TV’s to get rid of, please read below; if you need a water bill, stop by the Office and we will make a copy for you.

As most of you have noticed, there are a lot of kids wandering around the complex this week due to Thanksgiving vacation. We had a car get hit by rocks thrown by two young boys, another boy purposely damaged Association property, and there is lots of trash tossed about.
Folks with kids need to keep an eye on them and what they are doing. Damaging the property of others in not constructive nor will it be tolerated. If you see kids damaging property just to have something to do, please contact the Police.
Despite our many efforts to curtail the practice of our residents putting broken glass panes, broken bottles, busted mirrors and glass shards into plastic trash bags, we STILL have residents who do this. This is not just careless, it is negligent. We have sent out Notices which ask our residents to put broken glass of any sort into a box and tape it securely. This includes 12 or 24 packs of beer bottles, as the bottles always fall out of the open cardboard container and end up shattering in the trailer or on the ground, and at the compactor. Boxes must be taped closed or we will not pick them up.
We have already had one of our maintenance guys get cut on the leg from a shard of glass poking out of a trash bag and in the most recent 3 or 4 trash days, we had at least 6 plastic trash bags with broken glass in them. We are not talking a broken drinking glass; we are talking fairly large window glass or mirror pieces. We will be checking bags for broken glass each time we pick up trash and will be noting the addresses of any broken glass in trash bags or not properly contained in a securely closed box. Each time we find broken glass in a trash bag there will be fines issued to the owner(s).
This is a health and safety issue and must be taken seriously.
We drove the property several times following the last storm, and on Thursday picking up trash, and we would certainly have seen this before now. It seems that sometime last night, a few individuals decided to vandalize a home located at the end of East MC Court and E. MC Drive.
These ne’er-do-wells ripped a piece of material off the property; they then casually broke it into pieces over a parking stop. If any of our residents who frequently use E. Mtn Creek Drive to get to Belt Line Road saw who did this, please let us know. We cannot have people destroying property here without some form of consequences.
