Crime Watch Meeting: 2/19/2015

A Crime Watch meeting has been scheduled for February 19th at 7PM.  It will be held on the East side, main entrance parking lot.   Click Here for location.  We are asking that you make every effort to attend.  It is only because of those involved that we have been able to keep crime to a minimum and it is all due to those who participate in Crime Watch that this is possible.  Crime Watch doesn't work if you only get involved after you have become a victim of a crime.

As always, a Metro Dade Police Officer will be at the meeting to discuss crime trends in our area, statistics, news of interest as well as to answer any questions from attending residents.

Garbage, Recycle & Bulk Waste Pickup

Over the last several months we have been having issues with some homeowners leaving out their green garbage & blue recycle bins out past 7 PM on their scheduled pickup day.  Not including homeowners that have had to recently leave their blue recycle bins out due to non-pickup by the county on its scheduled date, there have been owners that have been leaving their bins out all week long.  Some owners are also placing their bins out in the middle of the road which is presenting an issue for motorists.  

We have also been having issues with homeowners placing bulk trash out on the curb and not immediately calling Miami Dade County 3-1-1 for a pickup with some homeowners also leaving appliances with their doors still attached which is illegal.  Appliances left with their doors still attached will not be picked up by the county.  Please remember that you must immediately Contact Us of a bulky waste pickup by providing the 3-1-1 service request number or pickup number.

Recycle Pickup Issues

After having received numerous complaints over the last few months regarding missed recycle pickups, some as recent as this Tuesday's Board meeting, we have contacted the office of our District 8 Commissioner, Daniella Levine Cava.  We spoke with one of her representatives and passed on your frustration regarding the issue. When pickups where missed on our regular pickup day, many of you called 311 letting them now that pickup was being missed for all 302 home in our community yet the problem continued to repeat.   The Commissioner's office promised to look into the matter for us and have contacted someone within the Public Works and Waste Management Department.  Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.
