Trash Removal

Residents of The Pinecrest take great pride in our community.  To maintain our community free of litter, unsightliness and unwanted pests, all residents must faithfully abide by the PCA trash policy.  Violations of the Pinecrest Community Association (PCA) trash policy will result in a warning letter.  Continuing violations will lead to a board hearing and possible assessment of charges.  Click here to review the PCA trash policy.

The PCA contracts with Trash Away for trash and recycling removal.  Please review the information below regarding requirements and pick-up dates/times.  For more information or questions, please contact Trash Away at (703) 339-4560.
