Recycling bins for food waste, glass, and mixed recycling have now been installed in the binstores alongside the non-recyclable waste bins..
If you live in a flat you can order a small caddy to store food waste indoors before you take it to the recycling bin https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/recyclingboxesbins
Please use the correct bins for your waste and do not leave any rubbish beside or on top of the bins as it won’t be removed by the refuse collectors.
Large or bulky items must not be placed in the bins or left anywhere on the development – if you have a large item to dispose of please arrange a special uplift from the council https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/bulkywaste
Only place your item outside – ensuring it does not block the pavement or access – once you have arranged a special uplift and please attach a note stating when the uplift is due so others know it has not been dumped.

All property owners on the development will be receiving correspondence from the Factor with an invitation to complete an Owners Survey.
The survey covers a wide range of topics relating to the common parts of the development and the common parts of the buildings.
Although the committee and the Factor always appreciate feedback from individual owners, in a development of 306 properties it is hard to hear all the voices in the development equally. We hope that the survey will enable everyone to have an equal say.
It might take some time to process the data received but we hope to report the results at the next AGM, via our Newsletter, and here on our website.
The survey should take around 15 minutes to complete and we would ask you to complete it as soon as possible, and by 31st May at the latest.
There is a link to the survey in the correspondence from the Factor.
The Annual Reconciliation for 2021-2022 is now complete and the Factors have sent a breakdown to all owners.
In most cases, the budgeted amount for 2021-2022 was greater than the actual expenditure and the reconciliation will show a credit balance. This will be applied to your account to reduce the total amount due for 2022-2023.
If you pay your Factoring Invoices by Standing Order you may wish to review your outstanding balance and adjust your monthly payments for the remainder of this financial year (to 30th November 2023).
If you have already paid the full amount for this year and wish to have the credit balance returned to you please contact the Factors.
In either case, if you wish, you can allow the credit to remain on your account until the end of the financial year and it will be used to reduce the amount due for 2023-2024.
You can check your outstanding balance and update your contact details at any time by using the Factoring online portal https://www.trinityfactors.co.uk/
