July 2007 - reaching most PRVA members - www.paulreverevillage.com

 

2007 is Fireplace Inspection Year!

 

Board Stuff

 

 

 

 

ALL fireplaces must be inspected and cleaned (if necessary) between April 1 and October 1, 2007.

 

 

 

 

 


A certificate of inspection  from a licensed chimney sweep must be submitted to the Board
no later than October 1, 2007 or a fine of $200 will be automatically added to your account.

Most of our unit owners use Top Hat in Grafton. For details on a discount Top Hat is offering PRVA, call (508) 839-9997. Fireplace cleaning and inspection is a safety issue that concerns ALL of us at PRVA.

 

Homeowners and tenants are reminded that our fireplaces are NOT made to withstand continual, hot, wood fires and are NOT to be used as a primary source of heat for your unit.

Minutes through June 2007 will be posted here.

Board Meetings are normally scheduled for the 1st Monday of each month, at 3 Lexington, 6:00p.m. Please email the board, or let them know another way, if you are going to attend. If you have concerns and want direct answers, this is the best way...attend and ask.

RECYCLE RECYCLE RECYCLE

Recycling is now MANDATORY at PRVA. Recycling is the only way to keep our spiraling trash costs in check. Recycled items do not count against our tonnage. Newspapers, magazines and cardboard are disposed of free of charge. Recyclables and newspaper/cardboard are picked up on alternate Wednesdays- see calendar below for dates.

What can be recycled?

Newspapers, magazine and regular brown cardboard, cereal boxes and other cardboard from food stuffs, toys, etc. May include junk mail. Remove plastic packing contents. No Chinese food containers. Please tie or bundle cardboard separate from the newspapers and BREAK DOWN, FOLD AND FLATTEN ALL CARDBOARD BOXES-no larger than 20 inches by 20 inches or they won’t fit in the recycle bin.

REMOVE LEFTOVER PIZZA FROM PIZZA BOXES!

If you have a large amount of cardboard boxes, call Millbury Rubbish in advance and they will pick up with their commercial cardboard route at no charge.

Plastics... FLATTEN the plastics that are soft enough to do so (milk and water jugs). Plastics include all food and laundry containers–must have a plastic recycle triangle on it- It does not include plastic toys or other plastic items from around the house.

Glass...wash, remove the lid, dump out all contents-no need to remove labels- no dishes, light bulbs, nic naks.

Cans...wash, remove both ends and FLATTEN.... no need to remove labels.

RINSE, RINSE, RINSE.... please make a good effort to remove the products from the container. If they are not cleaned, it attracts unwanted animals and bugs in the roll-off where it is stored. The facility where materials are processed also requires that everything be cleaned, as it is all hand sorted by people using long conveyor belts. Many residents have been separating items for recycling but some of these items are not clean. Millbury Rubbish has to dump this dirty material in with the trash and our disposal fees could potentially increase.

NO aerosol containers or paint cans.

Appliances, bed frames, mattresses, computers, paint must be scheduled for a pickup. Please call Millbury Rubbish 508-865-0446 for rates and a pickup date.

Community PetLand

As I was looking through the 'Pet' pages, I think it's time for an update. I know there are many new pets that have not been featured. Please send pictures to me with some cute captions and their names (of course, I know most of them!). I will try to incorporate as many as possible.
