Rubbish collection times
Rubbish and recycling must ONLY be put outside residents' front doors during the collection times listed below. Residents who are found disregarding these rules continuously may be fined.
- Monday - Saturday (6.30am - 9.30am)
- Sunday (6.30am - 10.30am)
Please DOUBLE BAG your rubbish if you are self-isolating to help contain the disease. The virus can live on plastic for up to three days.
Please FLATTEN AND BREAK DOWN your boxes. By doing this we can help the porters clear the rubbish more quickly.
Items left in common parts
Residents are reminded that NO ITEMS SHOULD be left outside their front doors, including shoes, pushchairs, bikes, scooters and umbrellas. Residents found ignoring this may be fined and the items may be removed without notice.
We are allowing a temporary exception to this for volunteers leaving food and essentials OUTSIDE the front doors of residents in self-isolation, but please ring or text them so they can bring the items inside as soon as possible.
Porters will also leave parcels OUTSIDE the front door to your flat in order to comply with social distancing guidelines.
Don't buzz anyone in unless you know who they are
As more residents will be arranging deliveries over the coming months, there is more opportunity for scammers to pretend to be making deliveries. If your bell rings and the caller says they're delivering something for someone who isn't home, direct them to the porters. DO NOT open the door to strangers.
Considerate neighbours
Let's all do our best to be considerate of our neighbour throughout this challenging period of self-isolation and self-distancing. Many residents are working from home and schools are all closed, so more people are at home than under ordinary circumstances. Stress levels are particularly high, so please do everything you can to help us maintain a quiet and peaceful community.
Respect the garden
Always be sure to dispose of your rubbish when using the garden and respect the garden by-laws and regulations.
Damage to common parts
If your contrator soils or damages the common parts you are likely to be charged for cleaning and repair.
