Assessment Due Date
As a homeowner, you are obligated to pay a quarterly assessment fee which represents your share of the common expenses of the Cascades Community Association. Accounts overdue for more than ten (10) days will accrue a late fee of $10.00. The fee for the first full month following your settlement should have been collected in advance. In addition, a one-time special $75.00 assessment was collected during your closing. This special assessment was not an advance payment of monthly assessments. It is intended to provide initial capitalization for the Association.
Methods of Payment
Assessments may be deducted from your bank account automatically each month using an Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction. The automated bank draft method of payment is desirable as it saves the Association time and money processing monthly assessments. Of course, it also saves the homeowner the time required to complete a paper transaction through the US mail and it avoids late or missed payments. Contact the community management company for instructions, rules, and regulations regarding automatic bank draft payments or download the direct debit form.
If you are not using an automated bank draft to pay your assessment, then coupons and mailing labels are mailed to you each year in December or as soon as possible following your settlement. You are responsible for paying monthly dues until the Association is notified of new ownership of your home. Please make a check for each fee payment payable to the Cascades Community Association and mail it to the Association's lock box depository using the coupons and window envelopes provided. Please do not hesitate to call our management staff at (703) 406-0820 concerning any problem related to the payment of your community association fee.

Garbage Collection & Recycling Policies
Trash service is provided twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Recyclable items such as newspaper, cardboard, paperboard, aluminum cans, glass bottles and jars (clear, brown, or green) and all plastic containers, will be collected every Thursday throughout the year. Yard waste removal will occur each Monday from April 1 through December. During these months, the yard debris must be separated from the household trash. The yard debris should be placed in biodegradable paper bags, which can be purchased at most discount or home improvement stores. During the months of January and February any yard debris can be disposed of with the household trash.
CSI and American Disposal recycle plastics - #1 through #7. The Contractor will not collect rocks, concrete, dirt, sod, tree stumps, paint, motor oil, construction trash, combustibles, or toxic materials.
Single family units will be serviced by Con-Serv Industries, Inc. (CSI). They can be reached at 703-444-3181 for missed pick ups or to arrange for a special pick up. Townhouse units will be serviced by American Disposal. They can be reached at 703-368-0500 for missed pick ups or to arrange for a special pick up.

All trash must be properly secured in tied plastic bags or cans, and placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. the day of collection, and not before dusk the evening prior to the day of collection. Please bundle the recyclables and secure them in the recycling bin to prevent them from being blown around the community by the wind.
There will be trash service on all holidays with the exception of those holidays observed by the closing of the local landfill, (i.e., Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day). Following such holidays, trash and recyclables will be collected the next scheduled day, not the day following the holiday. In other words, if one of the above mentioned holidays falls on a Monday or Thursday, there will be no trash collection that day.
In the event of adverse weather conditions, trash collection may be suspended for the day. The trash will then be collected the next regularly scheduled day, not the following calendar day.
If you have large items to dispose of, the Contractor will collect all furniture, non-CFC appliances (everything except refrigerators and freezers), and other large, non-metal household items. American Disposal will charge a fee for kitchen and some household appliances, CSI Trash Service is at no additional charge. Please contact the appropriate contractor at least three days in advance to schedule for collection of these items.
