Community Update; August 23, 2024
Dear Watermark Residents,
I hope this email finds you well. Below is your weekly update. As always, please reach out with any questions.
REMINDER: Rules & Regulations Update
The Safety Committee has revised the Vehicle Parking & Garage Storage rules. Copies have been sent to all owners with a comment form. Please submit your comment form at Security or email me directly. The Board will review comments and determine next steps at the September 10th meeting.
Recycling & Composting
Pardon the repetition, we are still in need of your cooperation for the following items:
- NO plastic bags can go into the recycle bin. San Diego does not recycle plastic bags, even the ones with the recycle symbol.
- Please breakdown your cardboard boxes before placing them in the bin. We need all the space we can get in there and your assistance makes a huge difference.
- NEW INFO: San Diego does not permit compostable or biodegradable bags in the Organics waste bin. The attached article is where this information was first uncovered. Waste Management has confirmed that the bags get stuck in the machinery when they are processing the compostable items. This is, pretty much, the same issue that restricts plastic bags from being recycled. Waste Management has advised that you can use paper bags to collect your organic waste.
Sincerely,
Shannon Williams, CMCA, AMS
Watermark General Manager
