WCA TRASH AND RECYCLE PICKUP GUIDELINES<br />
Pickup days are Monday and Thursday (Recycle day)<br />
Holidays (no garbage pickup): New Year’s Day, Memorial Day,<br />
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.<br />
• Please have trash out at curb by 7 AM each pick up day and put the<br />
containers back in their storage space (out of sight from the street) by<br />
7 PM the day of trash pickup. This will help to keep our neighborhood<br />
looking clean.<br />
• Trash must be either in containers or bags not exceeding 40 gallons or<br />
weighing over 40 pounds.<br />
• Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths<br />
no greater than 4 feet with no branch diameter exceeding 3 inches. This<br />
bundling is required to allow for quick pick up and avoids damaging the<br />
equipment in the crushing process.<br />
• Appliances, furniture, carpet (up to 1 room, rolled up four feet wide &<br />
less than 50 pounds), cardboard boxes must be flattened.<br />
• By Federal Law, refrigerators and freezers or any other items containing<br />
Freon must be drained of Freon and have an accompanying bill to<br />
validate such service was performed.<br />
Items excluded from normal collection: dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, tires,<br />
batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, waste generated by private contractor or<br />
any materials or items deemed hazardous materials. WCA will leave a tag<br />
with explanation for non-collected items.<br />
RECYCLE PROGRAM:<br />

containers.<br />

DECEMBER <strong>2016</strong><br />
WESTFIELD TERRA
• Inoperable vehicle’s (flat tires), covered vehicles, expired registration/<br />
inspection stickers are not permitted to be seen from the street, please<br />
park in garage.<br />
• Maintain home which includes painting, repairing any wood rot,<br />
replace/repair damaged front doors and garage doors, clean gutters and<br />
pressure wash siding to remove mildew.<br />
• Keep driveways and sidewalks free of weeds and pressure wash.<br />
• Trim trees at least 8’ from sidewalk and street and should not be<br />
touching house, shrubs should be kept trimmed.<br />
• Store all trash bins out of sight from street.<br />
• Yards must have grass growing and free of weeds. Yards must be mowed<br />
and edged regularly.<br />
PARKING<br />
Our streets are so narrow that when vehicles are parked on both sides<br />
of street, it makes it difficult for homeowners to get in and out of their<br />
driveway or drive down street. Please park your vehicles in drive way and<br />
ask guests to park as close to curb as possible on one side of street when<br />
visiting. By having guests and homeowners park on one side, this allows<br />
emergency vehicles to maneuver down the street and avoid delays in<br />
response time to an emergency. Reminder, vehicles parked on street<br />
must be parked in the direction of traffic and you may not park within 15’<br />
of a fire hydrant. Failure to abide by these rules may result in a parking<br />
ticket. Also when picking up your children at the elementary school<br />
please be courteous and don’t block streets or homeowner’s driveways<br />
and adhere to the street signs.<br />
HOA BOARD<br />
If you are interested in running for the HOA Board in 2017, please contact<br />
Michael Quast at 281-870-0585 to get more information.<br />
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE<br />
In an effort to protect the homeowner’s rights and property values, it<br />
is required that any homeowner considering any change or addition<br />
to their home OR property which would affect the exterior appearance<br />
MUST submit their request in writing along with diagrams, lot survey and<br />
color scheme to Architectural Review Committee PRIOR to initiating any<br />
change or addition. Any changes that have not been approved by the<br />
ARC, the Association has the right to ask the homeowner to remove the<br />
improvement from the property. ACC applications can be found on our<br />
private FB page under our File tab, online at www.Krenekprinting.com<br />
under our newsletter, Townsquare or contact management company<br />
and they will email you one.<br />
CRIMEWATCH<br />
Please remember not to leave valuables in your vehicles and<br />
keep all doors locked. Garages left open are like a candy store to a<br />
criminal. At night, leave a light on to help deter criminals from trying<br />
to break in. Let’s be watchful for our families and neighbors and if<br />
you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to contact the Sheriff’s<br />
department at 713-221-6000 for non-emergency calls or 911 for<br />
emergencies.<br />

SOUTH TRANSPORTATION CENTER<br />
EXPECTED TO BE READY TO ROLL IN 2017<br />
The groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of the South<br />
Transportation Center occurred on January 6, <strong>2016</strong>. Despite the<br />
challenges of an unusually wet year and with the help from Katy ISD<br />
Project Manager Scott Walker, progress has been steady. The tentative<br />
Opening date is January 2017. The South Transportation Satellite Center<br />
opened its doors in January of 2011 with 34 routes. Today, the center<br />
has 95 routes and 119 employees. In January, the South Transportation<br />
Center will have the capacity for up to 250 buses. <br />
STUDENT ACTIVITY FACILITY:<br />
SECOND STADIUM ON TRACK FOR 2017-2018<br />
Construction of the Student Activity Facility: Second Stadium continues.<br />
This stadium, along with neighboring Jack Rhodes Stadium, will form<br />
the Katy ISD Student Activity Facilities Complex. The Complex will create<br />
a unique experience for fans, students, parents and the community as<br />
sporting and fine arts events can be played concurrently thanks to the<br />
infrastructure and road construction the will allow spectators and game<br />
participants easy access in and out of the Complex.<br />
BACKPACK BUDDY PROGRAM FEEDS STUDENTS<br />
Katy ISD has partnered with the Houston Food Bank Backpack Buddy<br />
Program and Members Choice Credit Union to fill backpacks with food and<br />
distribute to families in need. This program works to fill the gap for chronically<br />
hungry children by providing nutritious food for students to take home over<br />
the weekend. On October 7, <strong>2016</strong> volunteers at Schmalz Elementary stuffed<br />
more than 35 backpacks to feed nearly 35 families last weekend. So far<br />
this year, the Backpack Buddy Program has distributed 362,258 backpacks<br />
to 603 schools across Southeast Texas. Thanks to their partnership with<br />
various school districts the Houston Food Bank serves approximately 12,500<br />
students a week. Katy ISD joined this partnership when administrators<br />
learned some of the District’s children were going home to little or no food<br />
during the weekends and holidays. The generic black backpacks, which are<br />
discreet and do not reveal their content, consist of six meals for each child.<br />
