GHRHA Neighborhood Garage Sale MAY 3

It might not be trash, but you may not need it anymore. What to do? Join us for the 2014 Garage sale!

We will place an ad in the Statesman to help drive traffic to the area. We’ll also put out signs to make sure homes in the coves get traffic as well. The Sale will be advertised for 8-12, but feel free to start early or run late if you are getting lots of traffic.

GHRHA Household Hazmat Collection MAY 3

****UPDATE****

The trailer has been picked up for the HOA HazMat Collection. It is the U-Haul in front of 7613 Yaupon, just before Blue Lilly.  It is currently locked, so please do not come and leave materials outside of the trailer. Kids will be walking to school and we don’t want them messing with chemicals.

You are welcome to drop off materials Friday from 7:30pm to 9:00pm. Please call me at five-one-two-three-zero-one-zero-three-zero-nine if you want to come by.

ALL ITEMS must be marked with your name and address.

The main drop off time will be 7:00am to 8:00am this Saturday morning.  The trailer will leave at 8:00am sharp to take the delivery to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility.

Some rules:

ALL ITEMS must be marked with your name and address.
The Household Hazardous Waste Facility cannot accept materials generated by businesses.

This is for GHRHA homes only.

This is ONLY for Batteries, Oil, Paint and Antifreeze (think “BOPA”). While the Facility does take more types of chemicals, state requires permits are required to do remote collections of those chemicals.  Please do not bring anything but those four items.

Please put the items in a box or other container. The trailer bounces around and we want to minimize movement while driving.

Please tape closed any paint cans or other chemicals to prevent accidental opening.
ALL ITEMS must be marked with your name and address.
*********

 

 

 

Time to dig out the old batteries, oil, paint and antifreeze for the Household Hazmat Collection.

Friday night we’ll set out a collection truck for delivery on Saturday morning (before the garage sale shoppers arrive). Collection will occur at 7613 Yaupon Dr, from 7-8 am. The truck will leave at 8:00 am and deliver the materials to the Austin Hazmat Facility. Please limit all items to only items by GHRHA residents, and only residential items (no business collection.) ALL ITEMS must be marked with your name and address.

GHRHA Shred Day MAY 3

****UPDATE****

Times are now confirmed. The shred truck will be available from 9-11am.
We have also received permission from the school to have the truck located in their parking lot. So we will attempt to have it situated to allow cars to drive up, drop off, and drive out through the school.
************

With the increased awareness of identity theft, it’s important to dispose of personal records carefully. Bring your excess personal papers to the collection spot for the GHRHA Shred Day.

The Board has scheduled the Balcones Shred Truck to arrive for your on-site destruction of confidential papers. The truck will also accept electronic media, although that information will be destroyed back at their facility. Please plan to limit your “donation” to only personal paper from residential use.
