Good evening to all,

I realize this is late for the day but I wanted to relay one item:

Our recycling contractor (Patriot Disposal) came by at the beginning of their window this morning – approximately 6AM.

This is why we request you place your trash/recycling out the night before.

A significant amount of recycling was placed out this morning after Patriot completed today’s collection. If your recycling was not picked up, please retrieve it to put out next week.

If not retrieved, your recycling is subject to the Association Rules and Regulations governing trash/recycling placed out after collection has occurred. Please refer to our Rules and Regulations; Common Area, Trash, and Recycling Rules and Regulations; Trash and Recycling; Rule K (page 21).

As a reminder, to ensure that your trash or recycling is collected, please put it out between 6PM the night before and 6AM the day of the scheduled pickup.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter to help keep our community more clean.

Sincerely,

Mark

Good afternoon to all. Hope you are enjoying the non-rainy weather. Some items for your consideration:

  1. POOL INFORMATION: The pool opens in less than a week! Several
    items on this to discuss.
    — First, the guest passes were not included in the packet those who submitted applications received. This was inadvertent. The Pool Committee requests you either come down to the pool on Saturday between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. to pick up your guest pass. Otherwise please contact pool@parkwestcommunity.org to arrange an alternate time for pickup.
    — See our website or the Pool Rules and Regulations for the adjusted hours of operation during the first few weeks while Fairfax County Public Schools are still in session.
    — Pool passes are required for entry.
    — Passes are not allowed to be kept overnight in the box at the
    pool. Please remember to take your pass with you when you leave the pool.
    — Guest passes must be used for individuals who do not have a pass for themselves
    — If you plan to host a party at the pool please send your request
    in as early as possible as some dates fill up quickly during the season.
  2. POOL OPENING DAY COOKOUT AND SUNDAES ON SATURDAY: SATURDAY MAY 25th, 11:30 A.M.
    We will commence our 2019 pool season with a cookout and first Sundaes on Sunday/Saturday. Volunteers are needed – setup is planned for 11:00 A.M., cookout is planned for 11:30 A.M. Sundaes will follow afterwards (dependent on the number of volunteers to handle the various tasks to making these events successful). Please contact pool@parkwestcommunity.org to volunteer.
  3. WATERING OF SOD:
    Is still needed. If you see sod drying out please put some water on
    them.
  4. RECYCLING PICKUP DAY OF WEEK CHANGE:
    A post card has been mailed to all residents and all non-resident owners officially notifying all of the recycling pickup day change to
    WEDNESDAY. I realize many of you reading this are doing the right thing – the post cards provide certainty all residences and all owners have been notified in accordance with our governing directives. Please see attached the revised Trash and Recycling Rules  https://www.parkwestcommunity.org/Summary of Trash and Recycling Rules (Final).pdf – they may also be found on our website under the ‘Living in PWCA’ section.

All for now. I realize this is a little early but may you and yours
have a safe Memorial Day weekend. Please take some time during your upcoming extended weekend to honor and remember those who gave everything in service to our country.

All the best,

Mark

RECYCLING PICKUP IS ON WEDNESDAY STARTING MAY 13TH

This is a repeat from the last two President Messages:

Effective on Monday, May 13th; our recycling pickup will be adjusted from TUESDAY each week to WEDNESDAY each week. Recycling collection will occur this week on WEDNESDAY, MAY 15th for our community. This is being generated by industry-wide shortages of labor for trash/recycling companies. Thank you in advance for being flexible in your activities to accommodate this alteration of schedule.
