Fall Leaf and Branch Pick Up -- Now until Monday, Nov 6th

Dear Homeowners ... Weather permitting, fall leaf pick up will begin this week (week of Sept 25th) and will end on Monday, November 6th.  Please don't leave piles of leaves after that date as they will simply blow around the grounds over the winter.  

TO BAG OR NOT TO BAG:  This season, you can choose to blow your leaves to the “curb” or bag your leaves.  
 
If you opt to bag your leaves, please use only paper leaf bags like those sold at Home Depot  … no plastic bags.  You can place the bags curbside or bring them to the trash area.  Leaf bags should be placed BEHIND the dumpsters.  Do not place them in front of the trash or recycling dumpsters.
 
Blow leaves to the roadside but not into the roads.  The leaves should be put in piles approximately 3 feet wide and extend along the entire road footage of your property if necessary.  It is important to get them as close to the edge of the roads as possible because the vacuum hose cannot reach more than a few feet from the road.
 
PLEASE DO NOT BLOW LEAVES OR THROW BRANCHES ON TO COMMON LOTS especially along the perimeter of our community.  This just makes more work for our maintenance crew. 

If you choose to bring your BRANCHES or cuttings from shrubs/grasses to the trash area, please place them in the area marked to the LEFT of the GREEN dumpsters.
 
PLEASE DO NOT PUT BRANCHES OR LANDSCAPING STONES IN WITH THE LEAVES:  We cannot mix branches in the leaf dumpster and the vacuum truck cannot handle branches, tree limbs, landscaping stones, or other debris. Please separate branches and tree limbs and our maintenance personnel will pick them up separately.  If the maintenance men find that your leaf pile has too many stones in it, they won't pick up your leaves and you will be notified.  You will then have to bag your leaves. 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
