The Way Green recycle program is underway in Gleneagle North. Over 120 homeowners are already enjoying the benefits of the simple and convenient method to recycle. You can add the Way Green recycle service any time by calling the HOA (488-5883) and leaving a voice mail with name, address and phone number. You can call Bestway directly (633-8709) and request service start. Finally you can mail the HOA a note requesting service. In all cases you will be invoiced once service is started. The fee is $5.00 per month (in addition to the regular trash service charge). Service can be started anytime and it will be prorated for unused weeks in a month. It takes about two weeks from the time you request the start of service until the recycle barrel is delivered. Recycle pick up is the same day and normal trash on Monday.
