11. When is bulk trash picked up?
 
The 4th Monday of the month; however, it is recommended that you call 3-1-1 in advance to insure that your bulk trash will be picked up. It is not uncommon for the City of Dallas to miss picking up bulk trash if it is not notified.
 
NOTE: The Bulk Trash policy changed effective July 2020 as follows. We recommend you visit the link provided by the city.
 
Effective July 1, the quantity of a monthly brush and bulky trash set out for residential Sanitation customers may not exceed 10 cubic yards. This is roughly the equivalent of 10 household ovens. Once per year a residential customer is allowed an oversized collection of up to 20 cubic yards, provided notification is made to the City the week in advance of the scheduled collection by contacting
3-1-1.
 
Learn more about the new regulations online at CurbsideManners.com or call 3-1-1.
 
12. When will I receive my assessment (annual HOA dues) notice?
 
Assessment notices are typically mailed out in late November or early December.  Assessments are due on January 1.  Our CC&Rs provide for a 30-day grace period, which means that assessments are considered late on and after January 30, and subject to interest and late fees.
