If dirty or general waste is mixed with the recycling it will not be collected.
Yard & Bulk collection – items as per GUIDELINES, should be placed at the curb on collection days. No construction debris will be collected.
If you use a lawn care service, ensure that they do not leave your yard waste at the curb unless it will be collected that same day. Please also ensure that waste is not blown into the street where it can block street drainage. The only thing that should enter street drains is water. Read about Storm Drain Smarts

Monarch Landscape Management:
This month will see drought damaged irrigation repairs along with monitoring of tree health.
Entrance bed enhancements are on hold until the weather cools and drought restrictions are lifted.
Community Entrances & Esplanades:
Our entrance monuments have been cleaned. The lettering on them will be repaired and painted this month.
The Board continues to review lighting enhancements and other modifications to our entrances.
Wall Care:
Wall washing was recently completed on some of our walls.
If you live along a community property wall, and notice an issue, please send an email report through the Board contact form on the website.
We need every resident who has the direct benefit of our brick walls to care for the walls by keeping their trees and foliage from growing against and over the walls. These practices will help us protect and prolong the life of our walls and prevent avoidable damage to these valuable community assets.
Be aware; owners are responsible for their and their guests and tenants damage to the Association’s common property.
