Notice — Trash Chute Etiquette (reproduced in full)
"Regarding the trash chutes, property cleanliness and the property being in the middle of peak season and extremely busy, trash discarded in the chutes is too frequently not broken down. This causes the chutes to clog, and takes maintenance hours to clear and away from other maintenance tasks. Please help to be a part of the solution by breaking down cardboard (including HVAC filters, shipping boxes, pizza boxes etc) and conveying this to your guests. Thank you for your attention and cooperation with this matter."

Notice — A/C Filter Responsibility (reproduced in full)
"Good morning, [residents]. After further research into the Governing Documents & Bylaws, nothing states that changing the A/C filters is the association's responsibility.
