What all can be placed into the recycling cans?
Recyclable items are glass, plastic, metal and aluminum and paper (all newspapers, magazines, cardboard, glossy ads, catalogs, phone books and other paper products), and are collected in the commingled recycling cans.

For Unit Owners

August 2, 2007
Association dues are due on the 1 st of each month.
This is outlined in the by-laws of the Pond’s Edge Condominium Owner’s Association.
As the buildings and grounds of the complex age and are exposed to the elements, the need for repairs and preventative maintenance will increase. To ensure that these necessary activities can be accomplished in a timely manner, it is very
important that all dues are received on time. Late payments can potentially lead to the inability to undertake necessary projects or lead to higher costs to complete. This in turn could lead to the need for assessments or increased monthly Association fees.
The board would like to avoid any assessments or increased fees for as long as possible. In order to accomplish this goal, it is imperative that all dues are paid on time. Beginning September 1, 2007, a late fee will be added for any payments received after the 5 th of the month.
The late fee will be $10 per month per unit that is not paid in full by the 5 th calendar day of the month.
This extended time frame allows for variations in postal transit time and holidays that may affect automatic payments.
No invoices will be sent. It is the owner’s responsibility to pay the dues on time each month.
There are a number of options for paying the dues:
● Check mailed to Association PO Box
● Electronic check automatically generated by your financial institution
● ACH- Electronic payments pulled directly from your chosen bank account
If you have any questions regarding this policy or would like a form to sign up for ACH,
Iowa Office Services, P.O. Box 5551, Coralville, Iowa 52241, (319) 354-9734
If you would like to meet with us personally, we will schedule a meeting to discuss the matter.
