Recycling and Hazardous Waste
There’s a Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day coming up – October 16 – so I thought I’d throw out this reminder. It’s just a 5-minute ride away from Riverbend.
While I was looking at the Middlesex County Planning Board’s Solid Waste Management page I learned that there have been a few changes in the way we recycle. For instance, alkaline batteries now fall below the Federal and State hazardous waste standards and are to be disposed of with your regular trash. See their Recycling and Solid Waste Guide for more information.
Overseeding Notification
DATE: 9-3-10
SITE: Riverbend
PROPOSED WEEK FOR COMPLETION: 9-7-10
The thin and weak turf areas will be overseeded next week throughout the complex.
These overseeded areas will not be mowed until the newly seeded grass reaches a height of about 3 to 4″.
You will observe a modified cutting pattern around these areas.
Thatch may be brought up to the surface during the seeding operation. Excess will be removed. Light accumulation of thatch will help the new seedlings developed in better conditions.
This service has been performed on your site every year and is completely similar to what was done the previous seasons.
Thank you for your comprehension.

Advisory
Yesterday many/most/all of you received – or should have received – an email message sent by Janice at Executive Property Management. The subject line was Notice Regarding Electric Shutoff – 9/8/10 (Tentative) and it’s reproduced on this site for your convenience.
The reason for this advisory is to tell you that if you didn’t receive it – assuming that EPM has your correct email address on file – the message may have been culled as spam.
It was for me.
So, if you haven’t seen the message in your inbox then one or both of the following remedies may be in order.
- Ensure that EPM has your correct email address on file by checking your profile on the official Riverbend Web site (not this one, the official one, which doesn’t seem to be online as I’m writing).
- Whitelist the addresses that EPM using to send their broadcast messages.
Contact EPM if you’re still having trouble receiving their broadcast messages.

Notice Regarding Electric Shutoff – 9/8/10 (Tentative)
Dear Homeowners,
Please be advised that we have received word today, from PSE&G that they are planning to shut off the electric in Riverbend on September 8th for a few hours. (date not confirmed) We assume this is to hook up the electric from the newly installed wiring from their construction that was done in the community earlier this year. Please let you neighbors know.
Remember that those who have electric garage door openers, you will not be able to get into your home through the garage when the electric is off. You should take a front door key with you if you leave your home to prevent being locked out during this period.
Please look for further notice from PSE&G that should be posted on your front/garage door and possibly the mailboxes as well.
Janice Barber,
Executive Property Management

According to all published material, the Board meets the third Tuesday of every other month but the schedule is sometimes adjusted slightly to accommodate Board Member obligations. The meetings generally begin at 6pm and run about an hour and a half, depending upon business needs. Matters requiring sensitivity and privacy are generally handled at the very start. Attending homeowners can expect to be excluded until that business is complete.
