Welcome to Pimmit Square! We hope you will be very happy here. A few things you will want to know:
Cluster services
Association fees that are billed quarterly cover the following services that are provided to all units:
Trash Collection
The Cluster Association contracts with American Disposal for trash collection. Trash is picked up on Wednesdays, and should be placed out by the curb by 5:00 a.m. on collection day or sunset the night before. Service is not provided on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year Day. American Disposal will not pick up hazardous waste items such as old lead acid batteries, flammable products, oil, paint cans, propane tanks, bio-hazardous material and waste, or materials such as rocks, tree stumps, and soil. Please do not put out trash and recycling prior to sunset on Tuesday nights. Please remove your empty trash and recycle bins from the parking lots no later than Wednesday night. If you are not going to be home, please arrange for a neighbor to get them for you. Don’t let them sit in the parking lot. No one likes looking at your bins for several days. The board will be removing bins left out past Wednesday night.
Recycling and Yard Waste
American Disposal provides curbside recycling of plastic food and beverage bottles, jugs, and tubs; metal food and beverage cans; milk and juice cartons (remove caps and straws); and mixed paper and flattened cardboard. Mixed paper includes: junk mail, magazines, catalogs, newspapers, phone books, and cereal and cracker boxes. Items not acceptable for curbside recycling: all glass; light bulbs, ceramic dishes, cookware, pizza boxes, hardcover books, styrofoam, packaging peanuts, plastic bags, takeout containers or clam shell containers (clear plastic or styrofoam), aluminum foil or foil pie pans, and diapers. Do not bag recyclables; just throw them in the recycling bin.
Grass clippings, yard debris, and leaves must be bagged and put out on the same day as the trash. Make sure the bags are closed.
Glass Recycling
Glass recycling is done on the first friday morning of each month. There are three collection points around the cluster that you can use to deposit you glass into. All metal, plastic, cork or non-glass bottle and jar tops must be removed before putting glass items in the glass recycling bins.

Dog Waste
Please be considerate and pick up after your dog. Also, remember that Fairfax County has a leash law. All dogs are to be on a leash at all times. Please don’t let your dogs pee on your neighbors lawns or the common area. They should be walked into the naturalized areas that do not have grass. Thank you for being a responsible dog owner.
