Trash Collection |
· |
Garbage will be collected at the backdoor or inside the gate by the garage on Wednesdays and Saturdays. (Trash will NOT be |
picked up from inside the garage nor will they collect waste behind gates where pets are confined.) Garbage shall be placed in
plastic bags, garbage cans, or cardboard boxes not exceeding fifty (50) pounds in weight. Collectors will collect all household
garbage and up to five (5) bags of yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, or pine needles) from each home. Any bags of yard
waste in excess of the five bags that will be picked up at the back door must be placed at the curbside if the resident wants the
excess bags collected. Otherwise, the excess bags of yard waste will be picked up on the next collection day. For those
residents who have their lawns maintained by yard service companies, please instruct them to place all bags of yard waste at
your back door, not at the curbside. |
