Your Board has negotiated a special rate for trash pickup with Casella (formerly GFL, formerly Waste Industries). As of February 1, 2024 their monthly trash pickup rate will change from $21.38 to $19.50.
This is a three year contract with the rates fixed at 2024: $19.50/month, 2025: $20.28/month, 2026: $21.09/month.

All rates will be changed automatically starting with the February invoice. Homeowners with this service will not need to request the price change. any money pre-paid will be adjusted.
Casella does offer partial year service! Homeowners would need to call to suspend service – they will set up the resume date at that time too. This can be done through the Casella office at 302-934-1364. For anyone signing up for new service, just reference Breakwater Estates.
If you are using another Trash Service, this would be a great time to change over to Casella. And actually the Sixth Amendment to our Covenants states the following:
Section 4.12. Trash
All trash must be kept out of sight in covered trash receptacles. Trash cans should be placed at the curb either the night before or the morning of the scheduled pick-up and removed within 24 hours of pick up.
To eliminate weekly pickups by multiple heavy trash trucks in the community, residents using trash service will use the designated trash service selected by the board for their trash and recycling services price for these services for Breakwater Estates residents. The board will solicit bids from at least three companies each year to obtain the lowest price for these services for Breakwater Estates residents. Quotes will be shared with residents in the yearly annual meeting packet
This Amendment revised Section 4.12 of the Covenants on July 13, 2012. The Amendment was put in place to cut down on the truck traffic going through our community. You can help the community save the roads and save a couple dollars at the same time.
