<strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Bagged Clippings<br />
And Yard Waste<br />
It has come to the attention of the HOA that many residents/homeowners<br />
place bagged yard clippings on the curb prior to the appropriate time<br />
when such items can be placed there for trash pick. As pointed out in<br />
Section 6.6 of the Deed Restrictions:<br />
“...container may he placed in a designated area for garbage or trash<br />
pickup no earlier than six o’clock p.m. on the day preceding trash pickup<br />
of such garbage...”<br />
If you cut your own grass and bag the clippings please leave them at the<br />
curb in accordance with the day and time of the deed restrictions.<br />

Happy Valentine’s Day!<br />
If you have a service cut your lawn and they bag your clippings, please<br />
consider asking them to mulch the clippings instead of bagging. If they<br />
do bag, please do not leave the bag at the curb unless it is in compliance<br />
with Section 6.6 of the Deed Restrictions.<br />
Most experts agree that it is better to leave the clippings on your lawn<br />
as they return nutrients and it is much easier than bagging. By mulching<br />
your grass clippings you are also saving time for you and the trash pick<br />
contractors as well as preserving landfill space.<br />
The Full Text of Section 6.6 is below:<br />
SECTION 6.6. RESTRICTIONS ON GARBAGE AND TRASH - No refuse,<br />
garbage, trash, lumber, grass, shrub or tree clippings, plant waste,<br />
compost, metal, hulk materials, scrap, refuse or debris of any kind shall<br />
be kept, stored or allowed to accumulate on any Lot except within an<br />
enclosed container of a type, size and style approved by the Board and<br />
appropriately screened from view, except that any such container may he<br />
placed in a designated area for garbage or trash pickup no earlier than six<br />
o’clock p.m. on the day preceding trash pickup of such garbage and trash<br />
and shall he returned to an enclosed structure or an area appropriately<br />
screened from view no later than midnight of the day of pickup of such<br />
garbage and trash.<br />
<strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Tennis Courts<br />
Many residents are already enjoying the refurbished tennis courts. This<br />
summer, we replaced the chain link fence and resurfaced the courts.<br />
New nets were purchased and the light posts were painted. We also plan<br />
to install new benches. If you have not yet seen or enjoyed them, check<br />
them out.<br />
Remember, the courts are for <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> residents and guests. They<br />
must be relinquished for scheduled league matches of <strong>Copper</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong><br />
teams.<br />
To preserve them for everyone, it is important that the courts be used for<br />
tennis only. They are not for soccer, skateboards, skates, etc. Access is<br />
with the same card you use for the pools.<br />
