On behalf of all the residents of Alkire Townhomes, welcome to the community! Owning a new home comes with a lot of questions. The Alkire homeowners and HOA are here to help you get settled. Below, you'll find basic information and resources to help you get up and running quickly. If you need something not found here, let us know.
The Alkire HOA Board of Directors maintains a directory of all our residents, including contact information. A modified version of this directory is available to all residents, but only lists contact information for those individuals who have consented to having it included. If you wish to have your contact information included in the directory, please download the Directory Listing Consent Form, fill it out, and return it to the HOA.
Waste collection is provided by Summit Waste and Recycling. Their contract is not with you individually, but with the HOA. Therefore, if you have any issues, please contact the HOA, who can contact the waste management company on your behalf.
Trash day is every TUESDAY. Pick-up can happen as early as 7:00 am. You can put your trash out the night before, and it should be brought back to its normal storage location within 24 hours after pickup.
Recycle waste is collected every-other week, on the same day as regular trash is picked up. We are on recycling schedule "<TBD>." You can view the recycling schedule calendar here to see which weeks will include collection of recyclable materials.
If trash pick-up day happens to fall on one of the listed holidays, your trash will be picked up the following day instead. The Board will usually send an email reminding everyone of the shifted schedule.
While rare, inclement weather and other events beyond could also delay service. If the Board becomes aware of any such delays, we will notify residents by email.
Place your trash bin in the street, just off the curb, where you might otherwise park a car. Please do not block the sidewalks. Also, be sure to avoid putting your trash on a sprinkler head, generally located near the corners of the grass lawn. Finally, ensure your trash cart is secured in anticipation of high winds, heavy drainage currents (yes, they will float away), and wild animals.
The four main items you can recycle are:
Paper, such as paper towel or toilet paper roll inserts, newspaper, office paper, and cardboard.
Plastics, such as water bottles, detergent bottles, and rinsed out dairy containers.
Metal, such as soup cans, soda & beer cans, and metal lids. E-Waste (see below) is prohibited.
Glass, such as wine bottles and even more wine bottles.
At the waste management company's request, the following items are expressly prohibited from being placed in your recycling cart:
Batteries
Wood
Plastic bags
Leaves, branches, or grass
Styrofoam
Food
The following items are considered E-Waste and are not permitted in either your regular trash bin or your recycling bin:
Televisions (tube & flat)
Computers (CPU’s)
Monitors
Laptops
Video Game Consoles
VCR’s
DVD Players
Radio & Stereo Systems
Printers & Fax Machines
Any video display device 4” or larger diagonally
Under Colorado law, electronic waste (E-Waste) cannot be disposed of with your regular trash or your recycling – it requires special pick-up and handling by the waste management company. If you have a sizable amount of E-Waste you wish to dispose of, please contact the HOA so that we can schedule a special collection date for it. We will then notify all homeowners so they can also take advantage of that date too. The HOA is charged by the pound for all E-Waste collected, so if your electronic devices still function, please consider donating them to an organization that can make use of them.
Monthly assessments (dues) are $445 per home. Assessments are due on the first of each month with a 20-day grace period. Payments received on the 21st or later are considered late and are subject to a $25 late fee. Your lender likely already paid your first month's dues for you as part of your closing costs. But check with the HOA if your aren't sure.
At this time, the only way to make a payment is by check.
Make payable to: Alkire Townhomes Inc.
