RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE SERVICE DELAY<\/strong><strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Patriot had mechanical challenges during the day.&nbsp; If your recycling and\/or yard waste was not collected, please either leave them at the curb or bring them back out to the curb no later than&nbsp;<em><strong>6:00 AM tomorrow, Wednesday, December 18, 2025<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp; TRASH AND RECYCLING CONTAINER INFORMATION.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Due to some actions over the last few months I wanted to relay a few items on this subject.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em><strong>#1&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em>&#8211; we request all homes to mark their containers when received.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em><strong>#2<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;&#8211; if containers are not removed in a timely manner, we issue violations to the home.&nbsp; If containers are not removed in a timely manner and there are no address markings on them, they will be removed to the pool house for removal by our contractor.&nbsp; Containers are usually at the pool house for a few weeks after removal so if you are missing a container I recommend checking the pool house for it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em><strong>#3<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;&#8211; With the start of a new contract term on 1 January 2026; Patriot is offering to deliver trash and\/or recycling containers free of charge to you at the inauguration of this contract.&nbsp; For further information and if you are interested in obtaining containers please contact the ECC to add your name to the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.&nbsp; BAMBOO REMEDIATION THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp; Bamboo is an invasive species we do not allow on common ground.&nbsp; We highly recommend owners not to plant bamboo but to consider various native species as an alternative to invasives and other non-native species.&nbsp; Please see this link on the county website for further information. &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairfaxcounty.gov\/topics\/running-bamboo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.fairfaxcounty.gov\/topics\/running-bamboo<\/a>.&nbsp; This link also covers the potential costs to an owner who allows bamboo to outgrow their land.&nbsp; I bring this up as we have to conduct bamboo remediation efforts almost every year to contain and remediate the bamboo one of our well-intentioned residents has planted on our common ground.&nbsp; That help is not needed or desired and just adds cost to managing this property.&nbsp; Please help us and help yourself by coordinating with the ECC for any desire to plant items on common ground and please refrain from planting running bamboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good evening.&nbsp;
