A big "Thank-You" to the Clean-Up Day volunteers


A big "Thank You" to the fourteen Central Park residents who volunteered their time and effort on Saturday, April 28th to pick up the trash from our Community Areas.

Here is another graphic showing the relative amounts and originations of the 55 bags of trash (and one submerged 32 gallon plastic trash can) that they collected:

Clean-up Day - Sat. April 28th

The Central Park Master Community Association is sponsoring a Spring Clean-up Day on Saturday morning, April 28, 2012.  We will be picking up trash that has accumulated on all of the Community Areas located throughout the Meadows, Gardens, Kensington and Manors subdivisions [map of Community Area locations].

We will meet at 9:00 AM at the south end of the retention pond located between the Gardens and Meadows subdivisions [meet at the green arrow on this map].

We will have several organizers (myself, Valerie Sipsock, Larry & Janet Gomulinski and Colleen Varga) stationed at that location who will pass out empty trash bags and assign pick-up areas to those who are willing to show up and volunteer to help clean up our community. 

What we need are plenty of those volunteers - so please join us and also help to spread the word! 

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and bring gloves if you want to keep your hands clean.

I have purchased an assorted supply of trash bags that I will bring to the organizing location.  I'll also have several locations along the Central Park ring roads marked with green flags at the curb where volunteers will be asked to deposit their filled bags.  At my request, Kramer-Triad contacted Allied Waste who told them that if we will place our filled bags at selected locations along the ring road, they will collect them on Tuesday along with the regular pick-up.

If you have any questions, call me at 586-726-0317.

Pond treatment and clean-up

The first treatment of the Central Park detention ponds will be on Tuesday, April 24, 2012.  The Board has contracted for a total of (8) treatments which will be performed at roughly (3) week intervals through the spring and summer.

LakePro is the contractor who will be performing the work and they will be treating for algae and weeds.  During the April 24th visit, they will also conduct a trash clean-up on all the ponds.

If the weather does not cooperate, this work may be delayed to the 25th.

The Board has also requested a work order through Kramer-Triad to have the geese deterrent stakes and strings installed/repaired around the ponds.  This work is scheduled for April 26, 2012.
