We’re excited to share that this shed has been repurposed and will serve as the new check-in point for our Recycling Drop-Off Center!

Rather than letting a perfectly usable structure go to waste, we gave it a new purpose that will help improve operations and provide a designated location for residents checking in during recycling drop-off events.

This is a great example of reusing existing resources while supporting our community’s recycling efforts. We look forward to putting it to good use and continuing to make our Recycling Drop-Off Center more convenient and efficient for everyone.

Also a special thank you to All-Points Towing for their assistance in safely relocating the shed. Their help made this project possible, and we greatly appreciate their support. Thank you again to Jared, Fluffy, and Ruben!!

♻️ Thank you for helping keep our community clean and sustainable!

We understand the lettering on the bill may have been small, and if you happened to miss it — that’s completely okay! Our event on June 20th will be an opportunity for residents to obtain a recycling pass and ask any questions regarding the Drop-Off Center.
