Yard Waste Trash Collection: March 21 - December 26, 2018
Yard Waste Pickup: will resume on Wednesday March 6, 2019.
The PWCA is responsible for clearing snow from paved surfaces within the Kings Park West Townhomes community. Streets included for snow removal include Carriagepark Court, Carriagepark Drive, Treasure Court, Malone Court,and Gainsborough Drive to Roberts Road. The contractor WILL NOT accept requests from residents for additional snow removal services, out-of-cycle plowing, etc.
The 2018-2019 Snow Removal Policy is unchanged from last year's policy. Remember that there are two levels of disallowed curb parking. At an expected six inches (6") of snow or greater, white-painted curb parking will be disallowed. Towing will be enforced and charges will be assessed to the owner of the towed vehicle. Advance notice of towing will be placed on the message boards. At an expected nine inches (9") of snow or greater, additional curb sections may be added to the disallowed parking areas. After the storm is over and the areas are plowed out to the curb, vehicles may be reparked in these areas.
