The Association has installed two pet stations with Fido bags and trash cans for the residents to use when walking their dog.
If you would like more pet stations added, please let your Board know by e-mailing the management company.
Please remember that the disposal of trash in the streets ends up in the drains and the drains empty directly into the ponds.
Let’s keep our community beautiful!

Please Be Aware Of Wildlife In The Area!

INVASIVE CANE TOADS
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.

GATORS:
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.
SNAKES:
Please be cautious of snakes around the community, especially near ponds and the lake.
COYOTES:
Please be advised that coyotes have been reported on camera video running in front of houses late at night.
BEARS:
Warning. Bears have been reported in the community and seen on camera video running in front of houses late at night.
Please keep bins in garages and consider purchasing a bear proof garbage can.

TURTLES, BIRDS and Other WILDLIFE:
Please be mindful of the wildlife crossing roads in the community.

Recycle Right

Items in designated recycle bins will be collected by the recycling truck. Do not use plastic bags for recycling. If your recycling bin is full, put the excess recyclables into brown paper grocery bags or cardboard boxes no larger than the size of a recycling bin. 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.
Recycle aluminum and tin cans, glass bottles, drink boxes and milk/juice cartons, empty aerosol cans, plastic containers marked with a #1 or #2, and plastic bottles marked with a #3 or #7
Put excess recyclables into brown paper bags or cardboard boxes no larger than the size of your recycling bin.
Excess newspapers and magazines may be stacked and tied with string.
Do not use plastic bags for recycling.
Do not mix recycling with yard waste.

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 Advanced Disposal employees to lift up and into the truck
