Covenant Advisors' Corner

Residents are reminded to please comply with the Village Covenants. As spring approaches, we wish to ask you to particularly be aware of the following:
Trash cans and recycle bins and yard debris- Please put these out the night before or the morning of pick up and bring them back promptly. The covenants state: "If trash or other refuse is to be disposed of by being picked up and carried away on a regular and recurring basis, containers may be placed in the open, on any day that a pick-up is to be made, at such place on the Lot so as to provide access to persons making such pick-up. At all other times such containers shall be stored in such a manner so that they cannot be seen from adjacent and surrounding property".
Please be aware that Howard County no longer picks up leaves and other yard debris that is in plastic bags. Paper bags or reusable containers are required. The curb side collection is currently suspended for the winter and starts back up on the first recycle collection day in April. However, yard debris can be put out on the regular trash pick-up days until the yard debris recycling pickups resume. For more information, go to: howardcountyrecycles.org
