Recycling Bins

Dear Residents,

As of lately we have been noticing more and more non-recyclable items in the recycling bins. As a reminder here is a small outline of what can and cannot be tossed in our green recycle bins. Once out ground keepers start habitually taking out the recycle bins and everyone recycles the the correct products, we should have no issues.. Thank you in advance for your cooperation

• What You CAN toss in the green recycle bins

• newspapers, magazines, & shopping catalogues
• junk mail and home office paper
• tin/steel (small pieces/containers), aluminum cans (CLEAN)
• All plastic bottles and jugs with a neck or screw top.(CLEAN)
• #1 & #2 Plastic Bottles or Jugs ONLY
• corrugated cardboard (flattened and bundled-see below for details)

The following materials CAN NOT be recycled:

• We DO NOT recycle styrofoam
• We DO NOT recycle chipboard (cereal boxes)
• We DO NOT service any recycle bin larger than 19-gallons.
• Glass containers: Because of the potential for worker injury, glass IS NOT collected curbside. You may take glass to one of the city-wide Recycling Drop-Off sites.

How to Recycle

Plastic, Tin, Steel, or Aluminum Cans:

• Use clear, plastic recycling bags (see below), small plastic shopping bags (double bag to avoid spilling or tie in a bundle) or a 19-gallon plastic bin to collect aluminum, tin, aerosol cans, and all plastic bottles and jugs
• Containers should be cleaned and rinsed, with lids and caps removed. Labels need not be removed.
• It is helpful, but not necessary, to separate plastics and metals.

Newspaper, Magazines, Miscellaneous Paper Products:

• Use strong twine or rope, recycling bags, or small plastic shopping bags (double bag to avoid spilling or tie in a bundle) to contain newspaper.
• Place remaining paper products in recycling bags. Clean out and remove all contents and flatten.

Corrugated Cardboard
Flatten or fold clean corrugated cardboard and tie with strong twine or rope into bundles weighing less than 50 pounds. Bundles should be no more than 4x2 feet.

Glass
Because of the potential for worker injury, glass is not collected curbside. You may take glass to one of our convenient city-wide Recycling Drop-Off sites.

Other Materials
See a guide to nonresidential recycling, which lists options for recycling materials not currently included in Albuquerque's recycling program.

New Property Manager

Dear Residents,

Also, today we signed a 6 month contract with Heads Up landscape maintenance. These people are cheaper then our previous landscapers and they are more thorough with there inspections and cleaning. Heads Up will be on the property on Wednesday April 7 to clean and to spray for weeds. Patricia is also looking for some people to do window washing.. I will update you all once I get more information on widow washing.

Down Spout Status

Dear Residents,

I was writing to let you all know that on Wednesday March 31st, Rick Rivera will be finishing up the stucco touch on the silver facing store fronts. As you all may know, our sweet looking brass down spouts were stolen 6 months or so ago. We decided to install these plastic PVC, less pricy down spouts. Let me know if there are any questions or concerns.. Thanks

HOA Fee Payments

Dear Residents,

Over the past six months we have had a growing list of HOA fee delinquencies. In an effort to collect fees and bring everyone up to date, HOAMCO and the HOA board has agreed to wave late fees IF residents agree to use the monthly auto debit system provided by HOAMCO. Please contact Lora Motley at HOAMCO (lora@hoamco.com) to get your new balance, to start a payment plan and to sign up for auto debit. There is also a link to the auto debit HOAMCO website on the right of this posting. We understand that for many of you, Sky Management had done a poor job tracking all the HOA dues for those who have recently purchased a loft due to the Beazer Homes closing incentives. We are confident that HOAMCO now has all accounts up to date. Remember, these HOA fees insure that our investments stay in tip top shape year around. If there are questions, comments or concerns regarding HOA fee allocation, please attend the HOA meetings. Thank you for your cooperation.

Albuquerque Downtown Event Center

Dear Residents,

As your know, our dear departed mayor Marty has been tossing around the idea of building an event center near or on the conventions center. I am happy to hear that our new mayor has not forgot about this important downtown development and is trying to reach out to the community for feed back. I encourage all of you to take some time and fill out this feed back form regarding the Alb Downtown Event Center. In my opinion, this event center would allow each and everyone of us to benefit from our investment plus bring cool new structures, events, and jobs to our neighborhood.

Sewage Treatment Facility

Dear Residents,

As you all may know, the downtown neighborhood association and other surrounding neighborhoods have been working with the Councilor Bentons office and the Water Authority to try and get rid of some of the sewer smells that linger in the warmer days of the year..

Finally, after many months of deliberation, the Water Authority is ready to get started on the odor treatment facility on second and Griegos. The plan is to start construction by April and be done by June 2010. I have linked the power point pres that I sat in on last week, just go give you some additional info. Thanks to Roger Elsinger for staying involved with in this painful and time consuming process and keeping the pressure on Councilor Benton's office.
