Trash Collection
Trash and Recycling Guidelines
Our community contracts with HBS Trash Services for collection.
Trash will be picked up weekly on Mondays beginning Dec. 2, 2024. Recycling will be picked up every other week starting, Dec. 2, 2024. Each home receives two 95-gallon carts, one for trash and one with a yellow lid for recycling.
On your collection day, please place your carts at the curb by 7:00 am with the handles facing the house to ensure pick up. Please also be sure to leave at least 2 ft of clearance between each cart and surrounding items such as mailboxes, extra bags etc. (you are allowed 3 extra Trash bags per weekly trash pick-up). Please make sure there is at least 4 ft of clearance between your totes and nearby vehicles. If you frequently have more than 3 extra bags of trash, you may rent an additional cart for $5/month.
Large Pickups
Branches and brush must be no longer than 4 ft and tied securely in 24-in diameter bundles. Yard waste such as leaves, and grass clippings must be bagged and can be placed in trash tote. If you have more than 3 extra bags or large items such as furniture, please call at least 1 business day prior to your collection day to schedule pick up.
Prohibited Items
Items prohibited are dirt, sod, rocks, hazardous waste of any kind, liquids of any kind including paint (unless opened and dried out), flammable materials such as oil, or gas, concrete, hot ashes, remodeling or demolition materials, whole tires, and electronics.
Holidays & Weekends
If a holiday falls on or prior to your collection day, service will be delayed by 1 day, i.e., the week of Memorial Day 2024, you will receive pick up on Tuesday. Our observed holidays:

If a Holiday is on the weekend, it does not change your pickup day. If we are unable to provide service due to inclement weather, collection will take place the next day following the scheduled collection day, or as soon as weather conditions allow. Please ensure your management company has your email and cellphone number for alerts regarding service.
