Conserve energy.
 Replace your traditional light bulbs with compact fluorescents to
save up to75% on energy.
 Turn off the lights when you’re not in the room.
 Unplug “vampire” electronics like amplifiers, TV, printers – and don’t
forget your power strips!
 Open the windows instead of using the A/C when the weather is
mild.
Conserve every day.
 Reduce trash by reusing and recycling bags and containers.
 Use all natural and organic soaps and cleaners.
 Use washable cloths for spills and wipe-ups instead of paper towels;
microfibers work great on windows and hard surfaces!

Tips from Your Maintenance Supervisor

On Garbage Disposals:
*When using the garbage disposal, make sure to turn the water on medium
to full flow of cold water, then turn on the disposer. Continue running the
cold water for 15 seconds after grinding is complete.
*To freshen up the drain, grind peeling from citrus fruits.
*Over time food particles may accumulate in the grind chamber. To clean –
mix ¼ cup baking soda with water. Turn disposer on to clean – with water
running.

Cat Issue
Update:
The TNR Program has
been completed and
feeding stations are in
the works! We
appreciate all the help
you have given us
through this process
and hope that it has
fixed the problem.
Please remember that
feeding anywhere
besides the stations is a
violation of this
program. Help out the
cats and your
community by following
along with the program.
It’s much appreciated
from all of us here at
Radwyn!
Notes from the Management Office
We’ve made it through the winter and are enjoying an early
spring. While we are getting ready for outside activities please
make note of the following:
Flower Beds and Gardens:
We encourage all our residents to make your home comfortable and
pleasant. Flower beds outside are encouraged. When planting your
flowers keep in mind – you must maintain your garden by weeding,
do not plant vines on the bricks, and all plantings must be away
from the a/c condensers. Plantings around the condensers will be
removed because the condensers need air circulation to function.
We also have a community garden for vegetables! Call the office to
reserve your space in the Community Garden. (Vegetables cannot
be planted in the patio areas).
We’re on the Web!
