SUBJECT: New Samsung TV?? Bulky Trash Collection Reminder

Westover Estates Homeowners Association
Did you get a new TV???

Earlier today, the packaging for a Samsung TV was dumped in the alley behind 3417 Westway Ct.  None of the loose plastic or styrofoam packaging was secured. If you or a family member placed this bulk trash here, please retrieve it and store it securely in the alley behind your own property. The City of Plano will pick it up Wednesday during their monthly Bulky Trash pickup.   

A reminder to secure all lightweight items inside a larger trash bag or your recycle bin so that these items do not blow away, resulting in a larger problem.   Thank you for following the City of Plano's guidelines on trash, recycling and bulk trash pickup.

Next Bulky Trash Pickup day:  Dec. 17th  

As a reminder to all Westover Estates homeowners - bulky trash items should not be moved to your trash collection site at the alley more than 5 days before your scheduled bulky trash pickup.   Please DO NOT set out bulky items at your trash collection site until Dec 12th, as the next scheduled bulky trash collection date is Dec 17th.  

For your convenience, bulky trash collection guidelines from the City of Plano are below.

Bulky Trash Collection Guidelines

Did you know that Plano homeowners can sign up to have a text or email reminder sent to them at a specified time the night before their weekly trash and recycling pickup?  The system even adjusts for holiday schedules!  Click here for more information. 

A reminder that the next City of Plano's Bulky Trash Collection Day for Westover Estates will be Dec. 17th Per the City of Plano guidelines, bulky items should be placed near the alley no more than 5 days before your collection day.
