Please Be Aware Of Wildlife In The Area!
The cane toad (also known as the bufo, giant or marine toad) is a large, nonnative amphibian that has been introduced into Florida.
Cane toads are considered an invasive species and are poisonous to most animals that try to bite or consume them.
The FWC encourages landowners to kill cane toads on their own property whenever possible.
The skin-gland secretions of cane toads (called bufotoxin) are highly toxic and can sicken or even kill animals that bite or feed on them, including native animals and domestic pets.
The skin secretions may irritate the skin or burn the eyes of people who handle them.
Be advised that we are aware of gators in John’s lake who on occasion make their way into the community ponds. They may also be traveling through the drainage system to the bodies of water in our community so please keep an eye out. Should you notice any gators in your area please contact the appropriate agency and let your neighbors know to be extra cautious with pets and children.

Excess newspapers and magazines may be stacked and tied with string. The Town encourages you to recycle the following items:
- Newspapers, pasteboard, paper bags, magazines and junk mail should be placed in recycle bin.
- Flattened cardboard may be placed next to the bin and should be no larger than 3 feet by 3 feet.

Yard Waste
Yard Waste collection is for all vegetative landscaping material, grass, and tree and shrub trimmings. It is not for the removal of wood debris generated as a result of tree removals, whether by a homeowner or a contractor.
- Bundle tree and shrub clippings into lengths of 5 feet or less, or place into a container that can be lifted by an adult.
- Remember the weight limit for bundle, container, or a single item must not exceed 50 pounds
- Consider tying the bundles with string or twine, as it is very much appreciated because it makes it much easier for disposal employees to lift up and into the truck
