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 />

• Please only use the recycle bins for recyclable materials, not as an extra<br />

trash container.<br />

containers.<br />

PAPER:<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 />
