Trash Containers
Trash containers must be stored in garages. For units without a garage, containers must be stored behind the unit.
Residents may place their trash container at the curb the night before the scheduled pickup day only.
Residents are required to bring the container back in by the evening of the pickup day.
Bulk Items
Bulk items that do not fit in the trash container must be scheduled for pickup with the City of Columbus. Do not place large items at the curb with regular trash, as they will not be collected.
Additional Notes and Reminders
1. Check your garage, front door, and back door to determine if paint is needed.
2. Decks and fences should be stained to protect them.
3. Weeds in the Limited Common Area (LCA) are the homeowner’s responsibility.
4. Sunflowers are not permitted. Please inspect your area and remove any sunflowers.
Reminder: Best Practices
Put your trash can away by 10:00 PM on the day of collection to avoid violation letters and fines.
Keep the Limited Common Area free from trash and debris.
Do not dispose of paint cans in regular trash unless the contents are completely dry; wet paint can spill during collection. If you have paint, allow it to dry before disposal.
