WASTE REMOVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

There are several trash containers throughout Prospector Square in designated areas of most parking lots. Most of the enclosures are owned and maintained by the Association. The exceptions are containers on Lot 2B and Lot 38B. Those containers are for the exclusive use of the businesses located in the buildings on those lots. All other containers are for common use by members and their tenants.

The Association's management contract includes periodic clean up of common areas, debris, landscape materials, etc. The management firm is directed to widely distribute this minimal debris throughout all trash containers in the Square. Any large, one-time amounts are disposed of separately, not in common trash containers.

At the present time, waste removal is contracted out to a private company through the County/City. The cost of trash removal is not now, nor has it ever been, included in the dues paid to the Association by its members. The Association has paid for an independent analysis recommending charges to members based on a formula commonly used in the waste removal industry. This analysis, which is periodically updated, is provided to our members and the contractor. The Association will coordinate and cooperate with members and with the trash removal contractor to establish the size and frequency of removals.

However, the actual billing, payment, and collection of fees takes place directly between the members and the contractor.
