Board Bulletin January 12
Posted on Jan 12th, 2021
Scio Publishes GFL Service Details
In its latest newsletter, Scio Township published some Frequently Asked Questions about its new service contract with GFL Environmental, now the exclusive waste and recycling hauler in the township. The information includes details about the new residential collection rate, which will apply to all Loch Alpine households, and how residents 65 years and older, or a disabled veteran, can apply for a 5% discount on the collection rate. There also is contact information for GFL customer service questions and complaints.
LAIA Seeking Candidates for Board
The LAIA Board of Directors manages the assets and finances of the Loch Alpine community for the Members. Directors and committees volunteer their time and skills to keep the roads in good condition, the lakes clean, parks and greenspaces attractive, social events happening, safety and communication proactive.
Directors serve a 2-year term of office. Candidates are elected (or re-elected) and announced at the March Annual Meeting. This year, there are 3 Director openings to be filled. As the LAIA By-Laws specify that 2 candidates should be presented for each opening, we are encouraging LAIA Members to consider running for the Board.
We hope you’ll consider -- it may be your time to help manage our unique neighborhood. Many of you moved into Loch Alpine just a few years ago, or longer. You may have ideas to make the community more welcoming and active for residents young and old. Please contact the Board at lochalpineboard@gmail.com to inquire about serving your community. Thank you!
Board Bulletin November 27

Yard Waste Pick-Up Extended to Dec. 15
There is still time to rake!
GFL, the exclusive waste hauler for Scio Township, has advised us that the final yard waste pick-up for Loch Alpine this year will be Tuesday, December 15. (This extends the final pick-up three weeks beyond the November 24 date previously announced.) Yard waste should be properly bagged or bundled at streetside early that morning. Please do not place yard waste at the street after December 15. It will not be picked up, and it cannot remain at the street.
PLEASE, NO TAPE on yard waste bags. The use of masking tape, plastic packing tape, and even duct tape has been observed. The Board has received the following information from GFL: “Yard waste paper bags should not be taped closed as this material is processed with the biodegradable bags. The tape is not degradable and contaminates the process.” Yard waste bags (paper only) should be either folded closed or left open at the top.
As part of your fall clean-up, please remove and dispose of leaves and debris from ditches and also clear as much debris as possible from culverts adjacent to your lot. This will help control surface water flow and prevent water from backing up onto the streets--especially problematic in freezing conditions. The Board and our entire neighborhood thank you.
