We are encouraging Paperless sign up:

• It is more convenient, reduces handling mail and mailbox clutter
• Reduces paper waste and saves trees
• Reduce association costs which will help keep down membership dues. Currently, mailing and printing costs for dues notices costs the association around $500 annually.

Some residents have recently asked whether the association is considering switching the preferred trash hauler vendor, Rumpke, as they no longer provide recycling.  Waste Management still provides a rolling recycle tote with recycling service.

RECI did evaluate moving to a different preferred hauler this year in response to Rumpke’s change.  We ultimately decided not to change this year, because we are anticipating that all of the haulers will ultimately adjust their recycling offers due to changes in the global recycling market.  We are concerned about putting all of our residents through the process of switching trash hauling companies only to find that in 6 or 10 months, the new hauler changes their recycling policy.  We will review the situation again next year; our expectation is that by then, things should have settled down and we can make a better long term decision.  However, RECI wants to hear from residents that feel strongly about having a recycling option. Please use the comments section below to provide feedback (requires login).

If you’re curious about the changes that are happening in the global recycling market and how they are impacting curbside recycling, here are a couple of informative links:
