Trash and Recycling Service

Trash Service

Trash service is included in your HOA dues. New residents should find their trash tote in the garage. If you don't have, or can't find, your trash tote, please contact our Managing Agent

The standard (95-gallon) black tote holds as much as three regular 30 gallon household trash cans. Our trash provider allows as many as three extra bags, or a 30 gallon can, outside of the tote, and any yard waste that fits in the tote.

Trash is picked up every Friday.

Springs Waste Systems has six trash holidays:

• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day
• New Year's Day

If any of these holidays falls on a weekday, that day’s collection will be one day late, as will the remainder of the service days that week. This means that any holiday that falls on a weekday will push the remaining trash service out by one day, so our Friday pickup will actually be collected on Saturday when there is a holiday earlier in the week. All other holidays are considered regular schedule.

Recycling Service

Residents are allowed to sign up directly with Springs Waste Systems for recycling service. Residents will be billed directly by Springs Waste Systems for recycling, and will receive a blue 65-gallon recycling tote. Please contact them directly if you would like to sign up for recycling service. The service is $6/mo, billed quarterly. Note that this is slightly more expensive than what Springs Waste Systems lists on their website; however, our neighborhood is slightly outside of their normal service area, thus the extra dollar per month.

Recycling is collected every Friday, right alongside trash service.
