As you can imagine, the proper discarding of garbage is very important for our community. Improper disposal of garbage can lead to numerous issues including health, aesthetic, attraction of unwanted animals, etc.  There is a garbage collection structure at the entrance to the Hills of Portalón and that garbage is picked up once a week. 

We ask each resident, including guests, renters and workers to properly dispose of garbage in bags or boxes inside the garbage bin, always close the garbage bin doors, and take recycling to Portalón or some other designated recycling area. 

Contractors should be advised accordingly as to how to properly dispose of refuse, including building materials – disposal of these materials are the responsibility of the contractor and the community garbage bin should not be used.

Whenever possible, we encourage composting on private property. This helps our gardens and land.


It is not allowed to place garbage outside of the bin.
