    Rule #3. Not at the Curb

    Except for recycling bins which must always be placed at the curb on recycling collection days,
    place trash and trash containers at the side or in front of your garage door on trash
    collection days, and not at the curb. (See "Garage Door Pickup" premium service, below.)

Thank you!

     Tree and shubbery branches must be cut in lengths of not more than 4 feet and tied or
    taped together in bundles that permit easy and orderly collection.

Deed Restriction Violations, Attorney Fees

Storage or placement of trash and trash and recycling bags/containers in public view on non-collection days or in the street at any time are violations of the Spring Creek Court Community Standards.

Persistent "nuisance" violators will be referred to the HOA attorney for enforcement by legal means. Once engaged by the attorney, the homeowner is solely responsible for all attorney fees resulting from the attorney's efforts to bring a deed restriction violation into compliance.
