Community Garage Sale to Be Held on Saturday October 5
Thanks to Carmela Achiche, an Oakridge resident and a Keller-Williams Realtor, we're having an Oakridge community-wide garage sale once again. It's on Saturday October 5 from 8 am to noon. (This is not HOA-sponsored, but the HOA is extremely grateful for her effort.)
To participate, complete this Sign-Up Sheet for the Oakridge Estates Garage Sale, or text or call (818) 693-2794.
She will run print and online advertising, market to the community, and place directional signs in the neighborhood.
You will simply set up your items in front of your house, have a great time, and sell, sell, sell!

Please Take Your Cars off the Street on Certain Street Sweeping Tuesdays
In Oakridge Estates, street sweeping occurs on a Tuesday. From May to September, it takes place once a month, on the day following the second trash pickup day of the month. During the other months, it occurs on the day following both the second and the fourth trash pickup days of the month.
Athens Now Provides Our Trash Service
View their 16-page brochure.
Within this brochure, on page 7, learn what goes into:
the BLUE CART = RECYCLING,
the GREEN CART = ORGANICS, and
the BLACK CART = LANDFILL.
There is also an Ultimate Recycling Guide online.
(You'll have to select Residential and then Thousand Oaks.) It goes into detail on how to recycle properly. I've been wondering for years whether I had been doing it right. Now we have a guide that covers the categories and products below. But beware: This is heavy stuff! Nevertheless, kudos to Athens.
Recycling • Organics • Trash • Hazardous Waste • Electronic Waste • Light Bulbs • Batteries • Bulky Item Pick Up • Construction • Medical • Beverage Containers • Food Packaging • Plastic • Plastic Bags and Film • Takeout Containers (Plastic) • Food Scraps • Glass • Metal • Paper • Takeout Containers (Cardboard)

You may be jolted by the end of the first paragraph ("for the new fiscal year ending 2024 your quarterly assessment will increase to $120.00.") but the rest of the document is soporific.
End of Year 2023 Audit Released in April 2024
