Effective January 1, 2012, we will be changing trash services to Royal Disposable and Recycle. The HOA selected Royal Disposable because of their economical bid and favorable references from other communities. The cost per household for 2 days of pick-up per week (Wednesday and Saturday with Saturday being bulk pick up day) will be $11.77 monthly or $35.31 per quarter. Residences will be billed quarterly. Our current contract is $15.77 per month therefore residents will be saving $4 per month! Royal Disposal does not require stickers either. All other restrictions remain the same as before regarding weights and sizes of items collected as shown below.
SCOPE OF SERVICE: 1. Scheduled service days shall be twice weekly on Wednesday and Saturday. Contractor shall
provide curbside trash collection of up to eight (8) items of properly packaged residential household waste.

Operation Christmas Chid
Epiphany Lutheran Church and School is giving thanks for the chance to play an important role in providing needy children with a simple gift this Christmas season. Last year was Epiphany's first time participating in Operation Christmas Child, a ministry devoted to providing needy children shoe boxes full of toys, hygiene items, school supplies, candy, etc. The congregation collected over 80 boxes to send overseas. "We were strongly moved by this particular ministry" commented one member. The church members felt that the increased visibility of the new location this year made it a prime spot to become a "drop-off" location for OCC. This means that during "Collection Week" (Nov. 14th-21st) they will be accepting shoe box donations from the general public. "We are so excited to serve our community in this way. What a wonderful beginning to the Christmas season." remarks Lauren Thom, an Epiphany Member and OCC volunteer.For more information about Operation Christmas Child and where you can donate your items go to http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/.
