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.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 I know because I have already tried to dispose of them at the landfill.<\/p>\n

We cannot put them into the Compactor, either, without facing a huge fine.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

For those of you with TV’s to get rid of, please read below<\/strong>; if you need a water bill, stop by the Office and we will make a copy for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
