Dear Waldo Point Harbor residents,
Our trash hauling fees are increasing astronomically. We need your help to keep rates low so we don’t have to pass the costs along to you, our valued tenants.
We are noticing increased instances of residents dumping large household items, appliances, rootbound plants and construction debris at the dock entries or in the trash dumpsters. If you have a large item for disposal that is not regular household waste, please contact the Harbormaster for assistance, and he will assign a reasonable rate to dispose of the item. Residents found illicitly dumping will incur additional fees; approximately double the charge. Please work with us to remove the item properly and responsibly.
WPH rates are as follows:
Mattress/box spring $40.00 – $60.00 each
Couch/recliner $50.00 each
Chairs/desk/drawers $30.00 each
All appliances $40.00 each
Carpet $50.00 per cubic yard
Toilets/sinks $25.00 each
Large plants $25.00 each
No Construction Debris allowed!
If you or your contractors are working on your houseboat, remember that the community bins are not an option for construction debris. This must all be disposed of off-site. Remind your contractors and workers that this is not acceptable. All construction debris must be disposed offsite.
Please flatten and break down each and every cardboard box when you recycle them, so that the cardboard bin doesn’t overflow, which happens frequently. No Styrofoam should go in the cardboard!
If you are composting, make sure you follow guidelines for responsible composting and do not use plastic bags ever. If the compost bin is overflowing, please throw excess compostable in the regular dumpster to avoid overflowing the bin which just feeds racoons and rats.
Household hazardous wastes should never go in the trash enclosures. Marin Sanitary Services Main facility at 565 Jacoby Street in San Rafael will take them for free, including paint, cleaning fluids and batteries. It is an easy drive-through process and they take up to 15 gallons of liquids a day per household.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter, your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
