Please do not be the person responsible for
this type of abuse of our trash removal service.
It seems that every week I’m finding that residents are
abusing our Putnam Village trash collection system with disposal of items that
clearly are not meant to be taken by our trash contractor. The picture above is for
the trash enclosure at Bldgs 14, 15 & 16 on June 29, 2026. The owner was identified and ended up paying a junk removal service to remove these items.
None
of these items are items that our trash collector is responsible for taking. They are the responsibility of the owner to contact and pay for a “Junk” collection service to properly dispose of them.
Leaving items like this at the trash enclosure forces the
Putnam Council to pay a junk removal service for their removal using our
monthly condo fees. In effect the owner
of this “junk” forces his neighbors to pay for what is his responsibility to deal with.
The webpage “Heavy/Large Item Disposal” outlines the proper
procedure for owners to use to responsibly dispose of “junk” like this as well
as furniture, hot water heaters, bathroom appliances, construction material,
rugs, glass, mirrors, etc.
