Can we all be a little more responsible?

The new executive committee met yesterday for around 1 hour and discussed a few action points for better governance of Palm Court. I am not part of the committee, but was curious to know what was happening and hence joined in the discussions for sometime. I particularly became interested in this comment by one of our members. She commented that we've a very bad mechanism of waste disposal at Palm Court. I assured her that we'd been trying out various options during the past several months, including a visit (by some volunteers of the committee members) to individual apartments and advising people to exercise some restraint in hap-hazardly disposing off waste. Looks like it didn't work again.

THis is exact quote from the member - Couple of days back, a bag full of waste (near the first floor lift) was found lying open with all the waste material spread around, inviting dogs and the likes. Apparently, somebody was too negligent about the whole thing. It is very less possibility (my assumption) that any of the residents have done this, so the only possibility left out is that the one of the servants must've done this, to avoid going down and disposing it off in the bin near the transformer.

So, please advice all your servants to be a little more cautious about this aspect. Please remember, small matters like this are crucial to our better living here and each of you must contribute your best towards our common cause!

We framed different rules at different times, some of them worked , some didn't. Here is the latest one, for the benefit of those who missed it. Leave the waste material neatly and securely tied up in a cover outside your apartment during the morning (9'ish) and it will be carried off from there into the bin outside (placed near the transformer) by our house-keeping staff. If it gets any later than this (beyond 9 am), you'll need to carry it yourself to the bin (ever wondered what is the black-colored thing looking like a Pandora's box sitting near the transformer?).
