Clifton Crest Homeowners Association – Clifton, VA
Our previous trash and recycling contractor, American Disposal Services (ADS), will be coming through Clifton Crest again on Tuesday, May 26th to pick up any remaining ADS trash or recycling bins. Please place them at or near the curb the night before for pickup.
Also, please note that our recycling pickup day is now Wednesday, not Tuesday.
Trash and recycling contractors, acting under current Coronavirus emergency guidance from Fairfax County Government, have suspended all curb-side collection of yard waste. This included bagged grass-clippings, leaves, mulch and bundled branches. This affects all communities in the county including Clifton Crest and will continue until Fairfax County changes this guidance. Accordingly, please do not place yard waste at the curb. Residents are asked to keep yard waste on their property.
Additional information can be found at this Fairfax County FAQ.
Clifton Crest HOA has selected a new contractor to provide trash collection and recycling services to our community. Effective Friday, May 1st, 2020, the new contractor is Patriot Disposal. They will be distributing new trash and recycling bins as part of the service. Our current contractor, American Disposal will be picking up their old bins between April 28th and April 30th. Please put all your old bins out for the Tuesday April 28th pickup and leave them at the curb.
Trash pickup will continue to be made on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, recycling and yard waste will now be collected on Wednesdays.
Additional information can be found in the Patriot Disposal Welcome Letter. Also, please note the COVID-19 Emergency Restrictions.
Residents have noted serious safety issues occurring when parents are dropping off or picking up children at the bus stop on Clifton Road. Specifically, some parents are parking on the wrong side of the road (facing traffic) and also parking too close to the intersection. Both practices are dangerous and illegal – see Fairfax County parking regulations excerpt below.
Additionally, residents and visitors are driving much too fast in the community, particularly when first entering Regal Crest Drive or when coming down the hill on Regal Crest Drive approaching Clifton Road. The Homeowners Association will be reaching out to Fairfax County Police for increased enforcement of speed limits and traffic regulations.
The Clifton Crest Homeowners Association will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday, January 28th, 2020 at 7pm. The meeting will be held at the offices of our management company, Capitol Property Management. The address is 3914 Centreville Rd Ste 300, Chantilly, Virginia. Further details including the agenda and a proxy form can be found in the 2020 Annual Meeting Packet.
This is your chance to discuss HOA matters and make your voice heard. This is also an opportunity to meet your HOA Board members and run for a seat on the Board if you wish.
Homeowners are encouraged to attend in person. If you will not be attending the meeting, please complete a proxy form and give it to a Board member or another person who will be attending the meeting. We must have sufficient attendance in person or by proxy to establish a quorum in order to hold the meeting.
We have been notified by American Disposal Services that they will no longer be picking up bulk trash, yard waste, and leaf bags on Wednesdays. Those items will now be picked up on Fridays.
Fairfax County is no longer accepting glass items collected through curbside recycling collections such as we have in Clifton Crest. Glass items tend to break in transit and contaminate all the other recyclables. If you still want to recycle glass, you must take the glass yourself to designated Fairfax County sites. More information and drop site locations can be found here.
Below is updated information from our trash and recycling contractor (American Disposal Services) about what and how to recycle:
