Rodent Problem, Trash and Recycling
The Association took some steps to curb the rodent issue in the community but as long as residents continue to feed the critters by not picking up trash we will continue to have the problem. Please do not store food items outside – this just attracts rodents. Also, do not put out your garbage pick-up prior to the night before pick-ups and preferably not until the morning. Plus, garbage should be in covered containers, not those flimsy white garbage bags and should not be placed at the curb prior to 7pm the preceding evening, not days prior to garbage pick-up. Garbage pick-up days are Tuesday and Friday, unless it is a holiday and then the day is skipped. Do not feed the wildlife, stray animals or pets outside – that also attracts rodents. Finally, be careful when using poisons so that pets are not harmed. Recycling - Recycling is usually picked up on Fridays. If a holiday occurs during the week the recycling day is shifted and recycling is picked up on Saturday. Trash cans and recycling bins should be retrieved within twenty-four hours of the pick-up. Bulk pick-up will be scheduled for May or early June - notices will be distributed. Bulk pick-up items will not be picked up except on the two scheduled days annually. NO METAL! The County will recycle some items – contact the County for details. Help to keep your community clean and rodent-free!
Pet Waste and Leash Law
All residents must clean up after your pets. It is against the law not to do so and carries a $100 fine for each violation. If you see someone violate this law please report them at the number below and the county will investigate and take action. Animal Defecation (“pooper scooper” law) Montgomery County Code, Sec. 5-203(a)(2))
An owner must not allow an animal to damage or defecate on property outside of the owner’s property, unless the owner immediately removes and disposes of the feces by a sanitary method. Feces may be picked up in a plastic bag. If this bag is placed inside another plastic bag, it may be put out for disposal in your normal household trash.
Penalty for Violation – $100

Did you know that…… if it’s easier for you to pay your HOA assessments quarterly or bi-monthly, you can do so. You just need to make sure that extra payments are sent in advance, and not after the due date. You also have the option to pay by credit card; however, this option will incurs a fee. Please contact Tidewater Property Management for further information.
