Basic Tips for Garbage Collection
The garbage carts are the property of the City of Fort Wayne. DO NOT take the cart with you upon moving.

On trash day, please place your cart within five feet of the roadway or alley.

Place the cart with arrows on the lid pointing to the street. Should your cart not have arrows, the wheels should be away from the street.

Please do not overload your trash cart.

Never load your cart with dirt or concrete.

Items that are too large to fit in a trash cart should be placed outside the cart and called into the call center (dial 311) before pick-up day.

The violators license are recorded and repeats are subject to tow at the owner’s expense. We thank everyone for helping with this difficult task.

See or Hear Problems
We all need to be good neighbors, so if you see or hear anything suspicious, your FIRST response is to call 911. Then a followup during business hours, please report your action to our Management Company with the details. The Board and Management have legal procedures that must be followed, if violations continue after notification. It is important that repeated violations have a paper trail from the homeowner, if legal action is needed.

All homeowners who live in the community or rent their property are responsible to uphold the covenants of our community. At times renters are not told the rules, so it is important owners give a copy of the Chadwick handbook available to print found under Covenants. Everyone on occasion, should review rules and regulations for living in the Community.

Keep Community Secure
All ranches have photo-cells on both sides of the garage. Please make sure you check bulbs so lights work properly. Also the police and our security request that you also keep your back light on. There have been break-ins around our area and we have had very little problems and it’s a fact lights prevent problems.
