Recycling & Trash

Trash is usually picked up on Tuesdays. Exceptions are shown in the monthly calendar. Recycling must be taken out by the owners and residents.

The Maintenance Staff takes trash out of the basements of the Chappelle Villas and Charter Oaks Garden Units.

Need we say it? If you put trash in the basement, PLEASE put the cover on the can to prevent odors, etc.!!!
