Welcome to Milano!

As of January 1, 2022, the City of Laguna Niguel has implemented a new Organics Recycling Program. CR&R Waste Environmental Services will be delivering special carts that will be placed in each trash enclosure on Thursday, February 10, 2022. These containers will be emptied twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays. In addition, each resident will receive a small kitchen food scrape container to place organic waste. CR&R representatives will be delivering the small containers along with instructions on how to use them to reach resident between February 14th and February 18th. Feel free to reach out to CR&R Environmental Services at 800-826-9677 if you have any questions on this program.

It is that time of the year and the holiday season is upon us. For most of us that means out of town guests, holiday decorations, parties and gift shopping. With how busy we can all get, we tend to forget the simplest things, so we wanted to share ways to help celebrate with less chaos and stress!

• Lock your vehicles – To try and prevent from any unfortunate incident, we ask that you remember to lock your vehicle and remove all personal belongings with value out of public view.
• Package theft – Unfortunately, mail and package theft during the holidays has become an issue. It only takes a moment for a thief to grab a package from a door step. If you are expecting a package or delivery, please arrange for someone to be home or have the package delivered to an alternative address.
• Parking – Please be cautious of the Association’s Parking Rules. If you have guests staying, ensure they are parking in appropriate parking spaces to avoid any unfortunate towing incidents.
•  Decorations – Inspect all holiday decorations and lighting before installing. It only takes a small wire or socket crack to cause a short circuit or fire.
