New Trash Policy
Trash bags can be placed outside at 5 am on the day of
pickup instead of the previous 6 am time limit. Trash may
not be put out the night before. They will pick up a max of
10 bags. Please contact WM’s customer Service at
303-797-1600 for information on disposing of large items.
To facilitate all garbage being picked up by noon, the
Village has
been divided into either a Mon/Thurs pickup (ie: the
existing schedule) or a new Tues/Fri pickup. All homes
South of Happy Canyon Road will be on the new Tues/Fri
pickup with recycling every other Tuesday. Most of the homes
on the North side of Happy Canyon will remain on the
existing Mon/Thu schedule with recycling every other Mon.
HOWEVER there is a section of homes North of Happy Canyon
that will also move to Tues/Fri pickup. With the trucks
getting out of the Village earlier, make sure to have your
bags out by 7am or you could be missed! A letter will be
coming to your home in the next week telling you what your
trash & recycling schedule will be. If you do not receive
the letter or if you have any questions as to when your
pickup days are please contact the CPHA office. Our
Standards Monitor will be providing friendly reminders and
enforcement will be suspended for an interim period of time.

Trash
Collection information
Trash collection is one of
the valuable community services provided by the Castle Pines Homes
Association and is paid for out
of the maintenance assessments that residents of Castle Pines
Village
pay each month. This Fact Sheet details how the trash collection
program works so that homeowners can understand the program and use it
successfully.
Contractor
Our trash hauler is Waste
Management.
Containers
Association Rules currently
prohibit the use of trash cans and require that you either bag or box
your trash in disposable containers. This rule is intended to mitigate
the visual impact of empty trash cans in the neighborhood and the need
to pick up and return your trash cans to your garage.
Where to put your trash bags
Trash bags should ordinarily
be placed at the curb – either on your own property or on the
street, but not in the way of traffic. Please consider the mailman and
place the bags where they won’t interfere with his pick-up and
delivery.

Weight
and size limitations
Please understand that the
Waste Management staff are required by their employer to follow work
procedures established by the company and intended to help assure safe
operations. These procedures include limitations on the size and
weight of the trash containers that the driver may lift into the
truck. Smaller, lighter loads are preferred to heavy loads and the
driver is authorized to leave behind a load that he determines to be
overweight. (If he does, he’ll tag it with an
appropriate notice.)
Waste Management will pick up as many as 10 trash
bags from each residence twice weekly. They will take branches
and limbs as long as they are cut into sections 4’ long or less and
tied into bundles. They will not pick up loose piles of branches.

With Single Stream
recycling all items can go in the same container, there is no need
to sort. Waste Management is also able to accept more
items than ever before. Acceptable items include: Aluminum food and
beverage containers, Glass food and beverage containers, tin cans,
#1 and #2 plastic bottleneck containers, #3-#4-#5-#6-#7 plastic
bottles, newspapers, corrugated cardboard (cut into 2 ft by 2 ft
pieces), magazines, catalogs, cereal boxes, telephone books, printer
and copier paper, and everyone’s favorite...junk mail! The Homes
Association provides each resident wishing to recycle 2 recycling
bins. If at any time you have more recycling than will fit you can
always use a cardboard box and simply mark recycling on the side in
big letters so the driver will know not to put it into the trash. If
you need to pick up a bin or you would like a recycling calendar
please call or stop by the Homes Association, M-F 8am to 5pm.
Complaints/Communication with the trash
contractor
A pleasant request or
comment to the trash man is usually welcomed with a courteous
response, but please do not argue with, harass, or criticize the
driver when you are dissatisfied with the service. If you are unhappy,
by all means call the Association office, 303-814-1345, or email:
admin@castlepinesvillage.org, to register your complaint. We will
forward the complaint to the proper person at Waste Management.
THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
