Last Glass Recycling Tomorrow

⏲ April 3, 2025

A friendly reminder: The last glass recycling pickup will be early tomorrow morning, Friday, April 4. Please leave all clean/ rinsed glass jars and bottles at your curbside tonight. Please- no lids, corks, bottle tops and no mirrors, light bulbs or candle wax jars.

Yard Waste Pickup

⏲ March 28, 2025

We are still trouble shooting the pickup of yard waste by American. Please be sure all yard waste is in the large brown bags at curbside for Wednesday pickup. (If yard waste is inadvertently packaged in regular black plastic garbage bags but recognized as yard waste, it will not be picked up with the regular trash as apparently Fairfax County imposes fines on the companies during this season of the year for mixing these contents at the dump site.) If your yard waste pickup does not occur, please contact David and we will continue to work with American in securing this service.

Water Reminders

⏲ December 11, 2024

With below-freezing temperatures upon us, don’t be caught off guard by leaving outside faucets turned on and vulnerable to freezing and bursting. Often, these mishaps can cause real damage if the water continues to flow after the faucet breaks under pressure.

Please find the valve that connects your inside plumbing to the outside faucet and shut it off. You may have one valve for the front of your home and one for the back. Be sure to shut both off. 

Thank you.

This is a friendly reminder to put your glass out in the designated places around our cluster for pickup tomorrow morning.

All metal, plastic, cork or non-glass bottle and jar tops must be removed before putting glass items in the glass recycling bins.

Thank you.

Snow Removal Reminders

⏲ November 23, 2024

With winter upon us, here is a reminder of the essential dos and don’ts for dealing with the snow in our cluster:

The plow will be out whenever we get 2+ inches of snow.

It is your responsibility to shovel out your parking spaces and the common sidewalk in front of your house. 

Please do not use salt or chemical ice melt on the common sidewalks. Any chemical ice melt, even those that are “environmentally safe,” still degrade concrete over time and will damage turf or plants. 

Please shovel out fire hydrants near your area, so that they are visible.

Quarterly Dues Increase Notice

⏲ October 7th, 2024

As previously communicated, our quarterly dues are increasing to $500 in January.

Retaining Wall Approved

⏲ April 14, 2024

As you may have heard, permits to replace our retaining wall have been approved!

We are planning to start construction on next Monday. Construction will continue for about 2 weeks.

To ensure your vehicles aren’t damaged during construction we ask that you please not park next to the wall until all work is completed and we reopen the parking area. 

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this project. For questions, comments or concerns please contact Robert Jones (president@pimmitsquare.org).

Summer is Coming

⏲ April 2, 2024

With summer bringing in more visitors and students returning home for the summer, please be mindful of the following parking guidelines so that we all have the parking spaces we expect.

The square has enough parking spaces for every unit to have 2 spots with around 5 left over for visitors. If you have a third vehicle, you must park it in spaces that are not typically occupied by the first 2 vehicles. If there is not enough space to park a third vehicle in some areas of the parking lot, you must park it somewhere else, NOT in the neighborhood. 

If you have guests visiting (especially on weekday evenings when residents are typically coming home from work), please ask them to park in a visitor spot or ourside the neighborhood so as not to take up other residents’ spaces . 

Unassigned parking has worked well in our cluster for over 40 years and the recent survey results indicate that the majority of respondents want to keep it that way. For it to continue to work, however, we must be able to talk to one another and continue to be courteous and kind. 

And as a reminder, we have a speed bump in the parking lot, and we trust that everyone will exercise caution and drive slowly through the cluster. Children play in the parking lot and many parking spaces are on curves where it is difficult to see approaching vehicles. So please keep your neighbors’ safety in mind when entering the parking lot and DRIVE SLOW, even near the entrance.

Thanks

Waste Disposal

⏲ December 17, 2023

We have received some complaints about trash (mainly food items) ending up in residents’ yards and in our common areas. If you’re putting trash out in plastic bags and not in sealed garbage bins, please make sure to pick up any items that animals may have pulled out of your bags. Regrettably, what you don’t pick up ends up in the stormwater drains and subsequently in the creek behind our cluster 

Inspections

⏲ September 11, 2023

We will begin the inspections in the next few weeks. A checklist will be used to ensure we are fair and look at the same things for every house.  Items we are looking to see if everyone’s lawn and landscaping is well maintained (grass mowed, bushes trimmed, no dead landscaping or trees).  We will also be looking at the exterior of your home, decks, and fences to make sure the siding/wood is clean, among other things.  We will also be looking for trash/recycle cans that are visible from the sidewalk, and general debris in yards.  Lastly we will be looking for vehicles in the parking lot that are not properly registered and licensed in the state of Virginia. These will be towed.

If an item is identified that needs your attention, you will be notified via email with a deadline for addressing the issue, and a followup inspection will be conducted.  Please be sure to address the issue in a timely manner to avoid being turned over to Reston Association for the violation. 

While members of the Board will be conducting the inspections, if any homeowner would like to join the team, please send Robert an email (president@pimmitsquare.org)

Thank you.
