Now that spring has finally arrived it is time to clean up the flower gardens. Please clean out the leaves, dead growth, debris and garbage from your garden area.
It is vital that you clean up all the dead growth as this can harbour diseases and insects that may affect the new, green growth emerging from plants.
Over the months our siding and windows get dirty from the weather elements. The Board encourages homeowners to use a spray hose on their siding and wash windows to make everything look bright and fresh for the coming season.
Siding and window washing will not be provided this year.

Street Cleaning
The City will be starting the street cleaning soon. Currently Mountview / Winston Heights is scheduled for May 16 – 17. The schedule for street cleaning can be checked at the following web address: (http://www.calgary.ca/Transportation/Roads/Pages/Road-Maintenance/Spring-Clean-up-street-cleaning/Spring-Clean-up-street-cleaning.aspx).
Please be conscious of street cleaning dates and move your vehicle when the signs are posted. If you are going to be away during the time please move your vehicle to your assigned parking spot. In previous years when we’ve gotten notification several vehicles were not moved which did not allow for proper street cleaning. When the street is not cleaned properly it causes a built up of gravel / dirt which often covers up the drainage grates which could cause flooding issues in our area.

Garbage Bins - May 17 to May 27
Two large garbage bins are being provided to help facilitate your spring cleaning – May 17 to May 27, 2012. The bins will be located on the cement pad in the alley behind Merrill Drive (Phase I) and in the parking area between 32nd and 33rd Street.
Please place your items inside the bin. No large items (furniture, appliances) or chemicals are permitted.
Household chemicals (paint, antifreeze, automotive batteries, glues, nail polish and remover, propane tanks, fertilizer, ant, rodent or weed killer, bleach, cleaning solvents, etc. can be dropped off at Household Chemical Drop-Off locations (selected fire stations or landfill site). Our closest fire department is Fire Station # 4 at 1991 – 18th Ave. NE. Please check out the City of Calgary’s web site or call 311 for acceptable items and other locations.
Electronics (computers, laptops, monitors, TV, printers, keyboards, etc) can be dropped off at the city electronic recycling depots. Our closest electronic recycling depot is Staples on 32nd Ave. NE. Please check out the City of Calgary’s web site or call 311 for acceptable items and other locations.
Please think of the environment before throwing out items. What you consider garbage may be useful to someone else. There are many centres that are looking for used furniture such as the Calgary Drop-In Centre which will pick up items free of charge. Clothing and light household items can be donated to thrift shops.
These are all extra steps for us but a better solution for a healthy environment.
