News & Notes: Landscape Committee

Blue bin yard waste will be picked up in the first week of each month beginning June 1. The blue bins will need to be along the drive, in front of the clubhouse as the trucks will not go around the circle. The yard waste pile at the clubhouse will be picked up on an as needed basis.
