Dear Residents,
Please see below a few reminders & updates.
Trash and Recycling Procedures
Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in trash and bulk items being placed out improperly or without scheduling a pickup. Please review the Town of Leesburg’s guidelines for trash and recycling services here.
A few key reminders:
- Trash should be placed curbside after 4:00 PM the day before pickup and before 4 AM the day of pickup.
- Residents who place trash out after this time may be missed during collection.
- If your trash is missed due to a late set-out, the collector will not return to pick it up.
- Trash containers must be removed from the curbline within 12 hours of collection.
- Containers must be stored behind the front line of the building and not left on the curb, sidewalk, or other public areas.
- Do not mix hazardous household waste, recycling, or yard waste with your regular trash—these must be disposed of separately and appropriately.
- Cardboard boxes and packing paper (no Styrofoam peanuts or bubble wrap) should be flattened or broken down and placed at the curb for recycling pickup.
- Bulk or oversized items (furniture, appliances, or large household items) are not collected on regular trash days and must be scheduled for special pickup through the Town.
- Please note that bulky items not collected with regular trash are not considered a missed pickup, and the Town will not send collectors back for these items.
- Cooking oil in gallon or larger containers should not be placed in large quantities with regular trash, as the containers can rupture and spill.
- Small, sealed containers are acceptable.
- The Town does not have trash drop-off locations. For disposal needs, residents may use the Loudoun County Landfill, which accepts household waste for a nominal fee. For more information, call 703-771-5500.
Following these guidelines helps ensure smooth collection service and keeps our community looking neat and well-maintained.
Vandalism Reports
The Association has received reports of children tampering with and vandalizing the shared “cluster” mailboxes located in the townhome sections of the community. Please remind all occupants of your household that this behavior is both unacceptable and illegal. Such actions can result in costly repairs for the Association and may disrupt mail delivery for affected homeowners. We appreciate your cooperation in helping to maintain the safety and integrity of our community property.
Commercial Signage Reminder
Please remember that commercial or advertising signs are not permitted on your lot or in common areas, including near the clubhouse, playgrounds, or entrances. Unauthorized signs will be removed to maintain the community’s appearance and uniformity.
