TRASH AND RECYCLING
If you are facing the front of the house, to the left of front porch there is a little structure that has all the trashcans and recycling bins in it. Each apartment has a numbered trash can with a lid and a recycling bin. Please put all of your trash and recycling in the containers with your apt number on them. One yellow trash tag should be attached to your full trash can when you put it out. You can buy more trashtags at the Cornell Store, Wegmans, The Commons Market on Aurora St, etc. This recycling info video is helpful.
Please put Monday night trash pickup as a recurring event on your calendar and make sure you bring your trash can and lid and recycling container back behind the house on Tuesday mornings. It is dangerous to leave them out past Tuesday because they can roll into the street.
Recycling pickup is every other week. You can always take recycling to the dump for free. https://recycletompkins.org/
CIRCUIT RESET
If multiple lights and/or outlets go out in your apt all at once, you probably had too many things using electric at the same time.
- If the outlet involved in the outage is a GFI and the reset button, press the GFI reset button on the outlet.
2. Go to the basement and reset your breaker with an orange band. Just flip that one circuit to one side, and then back to it’s original position. That’s it. Please watch the video and follow the instructions carefully.
