Dear Boulders Community Homeowners,
The Waste Management and Short Term Rental Best Practices committees sent a survey in December to the community concerning excess trash within shared Bear Bins. We have received 35 responses and would like to increase the participation rate of responders. Please respond to the quick Waste Management Survey linked below.
The following options have been recommended as possible solutions for trash overages:
Option A: Make sure you are using the largest can permitted by TTSD (32 gallons) in your Bear Bin. Compress all trash and use the trash can lid to avoid any trash overflow. You should have room for a blue bag in your bin next to the can or on top of the lid.
Option B: Purchase a second “Slim Jim” type of trash can to add to your Bear Bin. This must be approved by the Owner who shares your bin. You must then subscribe to the TTSD 2-can service, currently $48.93 quarterly.
Option C: Purchase and install an additional two-can Bear Bin for your use, and discontinue use of the existing shared bin. You will need to work with the Architectural Review Committee to determine if there is a viable location for this second Bear Bin near your unit. Upon approval, you would be responsible for purchasing and installing the bin through Baker Bear Bins. The cost for purchase, installation and landscaping is estimated at no less than $1,700. Upon completion, you must subscribe to the TTSD 2-can service, currently $48.93 quarterly.
Option D: You keep a second trash can in your garage and arrange with a service provider to place the can outside by 6:00 AM and return to the garage by 5:00 PM on the normal service day (currently Wednesday) when you have excess trash. TTSD will bill you the overage charge (currently $5.79) each week that the can is placed out for pickup. You must label your can with your address and Unit #.
Please respond to this quick survey regarding waste management options.
Thank you for your time!
Kind Regards,
The Boulder’s Waste Management &
STR Best Practices Committees
