TRASH COLLECTION
Woods of Wimbledon Civic Association contracts with Texas Pride Disposal for solid waste collection. Below are pertinent instructions applicable to our current contract.

• Household garbage is collected on your driveway near your garage door, or next to the back of your home, on Tuesdays and Fridays. (Trash will NOT be collected from inside the garage, nor will trash be collected behind gates where pets may be confined.) Garbage must be placed in plastic bags, garbage cans, or cardboard boxes not exceeding forty (40) pounds. Refuse collectors will take all household garbage. and up to five (5) bags of yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, or pine needles) from each home. Bags of yard waste in excess of five (5) bags must be placed at the curbside for collection; otherwise, the excess bags will be taken on the next collection day. For those residents who have their lawns maintained by yard service companies, please instruct them to place all bags of yard waste at your back door, not at the curbside.
• Branches and tree trimmings must be bundled and tied in approximately four (4) foot lengths not weighing more than 40 pounds and must be placed at curbside by 7:00 a.m., on collection day.
• Bulky or heavy trash, such as stoves, refrigerators, water heaters, washing machines, dryers, furniture, and other “hard to handle” waste, shall be placed at the curbside by 7:00 a.m., on collection days. (NOTE: Refrigerators must have a tag verifying that the Freon has been removed.)
• Refuse collectors will NOT pick up hazardous waste, such as motor oil, batteries, gasoline, garden chemicals, or liquid paint. Other prohibited items are tires and asphalt shingles. Collectors are NOT required to pick up more than two (2) cubic yards of roofing lumber, wood fencing, or other trash from major remodeling on each collection day.
• Texas Pride Disposal does NOT collect on New Year’s Day or Christmas. Should these holidays occur on Mondays and Thursdays, the collection will be on the next scheduled day.

Woods of Wimbledon Civic Association contracts for “backdoor” household trash collection to maintain the appealing appearance of our subdivision. Service routes may change which could result in later collection. Please be patient; however, if by 7:00 p.m., if you have been missed, please contact Texas Pride. If you have any questions or are experiencing a problem concerning trash collection, do not hesitate to contact the Board of Directors.

RECYCLING
Recycling collection is on Tuesdays.  This is a curbside pick-up using the black recycling bins provided.  If you need a recycling sticker for your bin, please contact the Secretary at [email protected]

STREET LIGHTING
Woods of Wimbledon Civic Association is required to pay for street lighting.

LANDSCAPING
Woods of Wimbledon Civic Association maintains the common grounds of the community. The majority of the maintenance is contracted with Alluring Landscapes to provide lawn care and sprinkler maintenance. The electric and water services provided to keep our common areas attractive are funded by the annual maintenance fees.

MOSQUITO CONTROL
Woods of Wimbledon Civic Association contracts with Cypress Creek Pest Control to provide mosquito control via fogging weekly beginning late-April and ending mid-October, weather conditions permitting. When conditions cause higher-than-normal mosquito density, the Association will contract more frequent fogging as necessary. The fogging truck drives each street and cul-de-sac after 10:00 p.m. While fogging treatments do not eliminate mosquitoes, it does reduce the number we have to contend with.

LEGAL FEES
Woods of Wimbledon Civic Association retains lawyers to advise the Board of Directors, for Collections and to help enforce the Deed Restrictions.

INSURANCE
Woods of Wimbledon Civic Association maintains several types of insurance policies as protection from unforeseen events and from litigation as required by the State of Texas.
