So here's some input on plastic bags and timing. Let's say you're leaving for a two-month trip on a Tuesday, and your trash pickup isn't until Thursday. Yes you can give your key to a neighbor so they can go into your house and take your garbage out for you. You can totally do that if you want. But that's only good if a) you have a friendly enough relationship with your neighbor to do that and b) your neighbor is around to do that. If either of these two things is false, you'll need to get that trash out on Tuesday when you leave, or you'll be dealing with trash, plus bugs, plus mold, plus maggots, plus ungodly stench and the need to fumigate, when you get back from your trip.
If you put it out early, you risk being scolded by Community Standards but by the time they get a chance to tell you about it, the trash folks will already have come and taken your trash on trash day. If you put it out early in plastic bags, you risk the vermin and vultures and crows picking the bags open and strewing trash all over your yard, the yards of your neighbors, and the street. If you put it out early in a can, you risk the trash guy taking the can along with the garbage. But if they're nice folks and you line the garbage can and tie the bag inside it before you leave, that risk is reduced to nearly zero. The only downside to the can thing, is that you STILL need a neighbor to move the can back around the back of the house, or under the car port, or wherever is appropriate for that property. Personally I think the risks vs. rewards on the can are more beneficial to all, than the risks vs. rewards to plastic, in the situation of people just plain not being available on trash day. |

Huh? It’s my understanding that trash cans are not allowed. We put our trash out after dark the night before to avoid bird problems, etc. This seems to work for us. Our trash is picked up very early in the a.m. also.

Thanks for reminding everyone the rules.
I've been here for 12 years and never had plastic bags broken into by critters. Also I use Aldi's boxes for my newspapers and tape the top so the papers don't blow away You can cut handles into the sides to make it easier for the trash guys, and if you put your bag on top it keeps out the water.

In the historic section we are allowed to put out garbage cans from what I understand. I try to only do bags for trash myself.

We always freeze the perishable stuff and put it in the bag just before we put it out. |

It is unlawful to prohibit hanging clothes on clotheslines. It also puts the Developer as basically the boss - though the Developer gave all that up to the County years ago. The Developer no longer has the right to "control all peddling, soliciting, selling, delivery and vehicular traffic within the Subdivision." (2.14). In 2.12, owners are supposed to notify the Developer when they'll be away for more than 7 days, and let them know when they're planning on coming back. If you were to call the "Developer" they'd ask wth you're talking about. Garbage in this part of the Villages is contained as proscribed by Waste Management, not the Developer. The deed restriction also specifies that the lots are occupied by perma-mobile homes, which must be skirted in a uniform manner. However many homes here are stick-built, or wood frame or block and stucco. Many of them were built *by the developer* after the deed restrictions were written. 2.21: No "FOR SALE" sign of any type will be permitted to be displayed on anyone's individual lot of Mobile Home. but if you don't HAVE a mobile home on that property, if that home is a site-built home, and you want to sell it, which deed restriction will you be violating by putting a sign on that non-Mobile home? The one about no signs? Or the one about requiring a skirt on the mobile home that doesn't exist on your property? In addition - when The Villages Sales department offers one of these homes for re-sale, they absolutely do put a sign on the home. They also put signs out front when there's an Open House. The deed restrictions don't make exceptions for "the Developer" in this particular deed restriction. In section 6, it specifies that you're not allowed to sell or transfer your property without getting written approval from the Developer. Pretty sure that hasn't been a thing in at least a couple of decades. I have never heard of any property here in the Historic Section owned by anyone who had to ask permission from the Developer to sell their house. Nor anyone who has had the Developer come by and say "hey - you didn't ask to sell the house, denied!" Interesting that this document has an expiration date, which is January 1, 2020. It'd automatically be renewed for 10 years unless the majority owners choose otherwise. |
