Holiday Trash Removal / Recycling
Potomac Disposal, Inc. begins trash removal services at 7:00 a.m. every MONDAY and THURSDAY. The holiday trash removal schedule, other than Christmas Day and New Year's Day, should not be affected. Should a scheduled trash removal day fall on Christmas Day or New Year's Day, trash removal services will resume on the next business day.
As both the Christmas Holiday and New Years Day occur on a Monday, the trash removal schedule will be DELAYED by one day. Trash pick-up will move one day to TUESDAY, December 26th, and TUESDAY, January 2nd. Please have your trash outside and prepared for collection by 7:00 a.m.
Also, Montgomery County Recycling will be DELAYED by one day. Recycling pick-up will move one day to WEDNESDAY, December 27th, and WEDNESDAY, January 3nd. Please have your recyclables curbside and prepared for collection by 7:00 a.m.

For those residents wishing to leave holiday gifts/tips for the Potomac Disposal staff please DO NOT place gifts/tips in, or around, your garbage bins. There have been reports of holiday gifts/tips being stolen from those homeowners that have left their gifts/tips in their garbage bins in the past.
If you wish to wish to leave holiday gifts/tips for the Potomac Disposal staff, please feel free to drop off any gifts/tips to the ACA offices. It is advised to give any monetary gifts/tips in the form of a check made payable to "Potomac Disposal". Potomac Disposal will divide any tips among the driver and helper.
For residents who prefer to make the checks payable directly to the driver and helper, their names are Meisam Khosravian and Juan Woodward. The ACA will forward any gifts received on to Potomac Disposal.

A complaint was recently filed by an Avenel resident against the Association with the Montgomery County Commission on Common Ownership Communities, an administrative division of the Department of Housing and Community Affairs that addresses disputes between homeowners and Associations. The dispute relates to a decision made by the Modifications Committee and upheld by the Board of Directors regarding the installation of required landscaping screening around the resident's generator.
Both parties agreed to and attended CCOC mediation on June 27, 2017. Unfortunately, the mediation process failed in reaching a resolution. As such, a panel hearing with the CCOC is scheduled to take place on January 10, 2018.
Owners with questions may direct them to the Board of Directors via the General Manager by email to lwilson@avenel.net.

Theft of mail from personal mailboxes is of particular concern during the holidays. Thieves can take mail from mailboxes, including holiday gifts and tips, and easily alter checks and steal identities. The Association would like to encourage all residents to not place any outgoing mail in your personal mailbox, but rather utilize one of the nearby USPS collection boxes. In the event you must put outgoing mail in your box, do not raise the red flag. The red flag is the perfect signal to a mail thief that there is outgoing mail (and probably checks that can be altered) in the mailbox. Postal personnel will still pick up your outgoing mail even if the flag is not raised.
