Dear Avenel Residents:

 

Below please find some important Community information.

Puerto Rico Collection Drive this Weekend
 
The Bethesda-Regional Services Center is holding a Puerto Rico collection drive this weekend in coordination with Puerto Rico's Federal Affairs Office in DC to benefit victims of hurricanes Irma and Maria, the latter of which has devastated the island of Puerto Rico.  We would like to share the information below with those Avenel residents who may be interested in participating.  
 
 
A collection for Puerto Rico will be held this weekend, Saturday, September 30th and Sunday, October 1st from 11am - 4pm at the Dynamite Gymnastics Center at 4956 Boiling Brook Pkwy, Rockville, MD 20852.   
 
See the above flyer for more information.  There is a long list of items needed.  The collection is being coordinated with Puerto Rico's Federal Affairs Office in DC.   
Trash Collection
 
Residents are reminded that trash containers must be placed curbside or by the garage door for collection either the evening before collection day or no later than 7:00 a.m. on the morning of collection day.  
 
Please do not anticipate when the trash removal contractor (Potomac Disposal) will be in the area, as they may vary their route from time to time.  Drivers may not return to residences if trash is unprepared at the scheduled collection time.   
 
Potomac Disposal removes household trash every MONDAY and THURSDAY.  Trash containers should be stored inside the premises, out of view, at all other times.   

Residents can also arrange for a free bulk pick-up from Potomac Disposal by calling (301) 294-9700.  
Noise Ordinance
 
The Association would like to remind residents to be sure that noise from construction or lawn maintenance equipment such as mowers, grass trimmers, leaf blowers, etc. does not begin before 7:00 a.m. on weekdays.  The county weekday construction/noise hours are 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.  Avenel's does not permit any noise on Sunday, as provided for in the Protective Land Use Standards.  
 
Additionally, relating to noise - outdoor speakers or other similar sound devices are not permitted to be installed or maintained on the exterior of homes or properties.
 
Thank you for your cooperation and please do not hesitate to contact the ACA office should you have any questions, or for more information relating to Montgomery County noise ordinances or Avenel's Protective Land Use Standards.
