Trash and Recycling Program FAQ’s
Q:
Why do we have a
neighborhood trash program run
through the HOA?
A: Right now in our HOA we still have multiple trash companies
on our streets, picking up on different days of the week. Everyone pays for
their own service and there is absolutely no benefit to our HOA. We are trying
to set this up so that we have one trash company on your street, one day a week
and there is a partnership, with financial benefits for the HOA, for
improvements within our community.
Q:
What are the financial benefits that are mentioned for the Mission Viejo HOA?
A:
The monthly charge for service is $16.96 a month, per
member, billed every four months, for a total charge of $67.84 per four month
billing or $186.56 a year (with one month free). The breakdown is as follows. $14.00 of this each month is for
Pro Disposal Inc. to pay for the service. They return $2.00 for every member in the HOA
participating in the program once 775 residents are signed-up and paying. With
2,067 homes in our HOA, the total return to
help fund various projects within the HOA could be as high as $4,134.00
per month, or $49,608.00 per year.
Q:
How well is our Community funded right now?
A: Our
treasury has very little money to do anything to make improvements within our
community.
Q:
What would our HOA do with this extra money?
A: The
money will be used to support such things as neighborhood events, community
clean-up efforts, entrance way improvements, a monthly or quarterly newsletter,
facilitation of covenant violations and general administration costs or whatever
projects the community would like to see these funds earmarked for.
Q:
Why should I care or do anything about this?
A: Remember
the purpose of this program is two fold. 1) This new program will reduce truck
traffic on our streets on a daily basis. It will also minimize all of us having
to look at garbage every day of the week, minimize trash blowing around our
neighborhood. Give us an excellent trash service and recycling program. 2)
Secondly, we have formed a partnership with the trash service
provider that allows us to put some of the revenues that come from the pickup
charges back into our community for improvements which
supports your property values. Simply put; there are many positives to
this program and literally no down side.
Q:
How much garbage can I put out for that rate?
A: Each
week you are entitled to put out six (8) cans or bags of household garbage and
six (6) bags or tied bundles of branches of yard waste each week. That’s a lot
of service for the money.
Q:
Is there a recycling program also included?
A: Yes. It is the latest most up to date program called the “single stream” program. This means that the containers (aluminum, tin, glass and plastic bottles) and paper (newspapers, phone book, magazines, cardboard boxes) can all go into one container together for recycling.
Q:
Is there any reason this won’t happen?
A: No. the program is a reality.
Q:
How long is the monthly rate good for?
A:
The rate from
Pro Disposal Inc. is guaranteed for the 1st year of the program or
until March 2010. We
have secured a 3 year agreement with caps for year two (2) of no more than
a $1.00 a month increase and $1.00 a month in year three (3). Given the price of
fuel, disposal, labor and health care increases, we feel that this is a pretty
good deal. However the HOA portion
will always be set at just $2 a month. This could amount to almost $148,000 in funding for our HOA
over the first 3 years.
