Rockridge Manor HOA Newsletters from 1980

The above Newsletter Vol1 no1 was distributed in 1979 or 1980. Rockridge Manor HOA was transitioning from developer to unit owner control.

Note that 2 of the Magnacept partners, Gary Cornelius and Ray Kaliski were board members.

Below is a link to many of the 1980 Newsletters. There are a number of duplicate pages(to ensure a good copy) and not all in correct order. Reporting from the dusty RM archives, Board Secretary Joe Johnston.

Recycling best practices

presented at 2026 Annual Meeting by Joe Johnston Board Secretary

Plastic Bags: Please don’t put recyclables in plastic bags into the recycling bins. The recycling facility doesn’t open the bags. These bags are sent to landfills. Dump out your recyclables into the bin and throw the plastic bag in the Trash.

Shredded Paper: In Oakland, shredded paper should be deposited in the compost (not recycling) bins. It’s important that the shredded paper be contained in a taped or stapled paper bag, so the bits of paper don’t fly out.

Cardboard: Please put greasy pizza boxes into the compost not cardboard. The clean part of the pizza boxes can go into the recycling bin.

Compost: compostable plastic bags are no longer accepted in the compost bin. Please dump your compostables into the green compost bin and put the plastic bag to the Trash bin

Remodeling Debris: Does not belong in the Recycling bins. There are facilities where you can bring the debris or schedule a bulky item pick-up either directly with Waste Management or coordinate with Charles.
