Green Trails Estates
PARK
The Estates of Green Trails invites neighboring
communities to come enjoy the park at Shillington
and Fry Road. A wonderful addition to our
community encouraging family picnics, playgroups,
a place to meet and bring laughter, smiles and good
fun! Jenna and Josiah Hellekson, who recently
relocated to Nottingham Country expressed, “with
four little ones under the age of six, having outdoor
space to get their energy out each day is crucial. We
were thrilled to discover the new park nearby that
we can enjoy for years to come.” Park hours are from
dawn ‘til dusk. Ages 2 to 12. Building memories!!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to call Sterling. Please email or phone them
for the following types of issues and questions:
neighborhood security, landscape maintenance,
trash pickup (or lack thereof!), and concerns or
questions that do not fall neatly into one of these
categories. Also contact them to report any needed
maintenance, repairs or deed violations.
(GT ESTATES) DEBRIS IN SEWER DRAINS
Please refrain from depositing any debris (lawn
clippings, leaves, pet waste, motor oil, etc.) into the
streets or storm drains. Disposing of debris in the
street or other portions of the storm water drainage
system can create problems. Flooding takes place
when the system becomes blocked with debris. This
can create a flooding potential that could result in
property damage. The water quality is impacted if
you’ve used chemicals on your lawn or garden. In
addition, pet waste left on yards can contribute to
contaminated run off. Grass clippings and leaves left
in the storm water system contribute to system wear
and can destroy the underground system. Please
make sure you dispose of your lawn clippings,
leaves and other debris in a proper manner.
(GT ESTATES) SECURITY
Neighborhood security is provided by the Harris
County Constables Precinct 5 Office, 24 hours per
day, 7 days per week. We also have an additional
contract with them (Contract 50 - in conjunction
with the other sections of Green Trails and Windsor
Park Lakes).
To contact the Constable’s Office:
• Emergency - 911
• Dispatch: 281-463-6666. PLEASE CALL THEM IF YOU
SEE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS OR NEED SECURITY
INFORMATION. The Constable’s office encourages
residents to call if they see any suspicious or
bothersome activity. Please keep your vehicles
locked at all times to reduce crime of opportunity.
(GT ESTATES) VACATION WATCH
Residents of Constable Precinct 5 contract
subdivisions, which include Estates of Green
Trails, can have their homes checked by a driveby
patrol officer while they are away on vacation.
Please contact the Constable’s office at 281-463-
6666 or complete a Vacation Watch Form, which
can be found online at www.harriscountytx.gov/
pct5 or www.constablepct5.com - You will need to
complete the form and submit it to the Constable’s
office one week before you leave!
If your home is monitored by a private security
alarm system, please be sure to tell them you are
in Green Trails Contract 50 with the Harris County
Constable in Precinct 5. You must also have an
Alarm Permit with the Harris County Sheriff’s office.
The application can be found on the following
website: www.hcso.hctx.net/forms/forms.asp
(GT ESTATES) TRASH SERVICE
Estates of Green Trails has bi-weekly trash pickup
on Wednesdays and Saturdays by Best Trash
(Phone 281-313-2378). Should you be overlooked
by Best Trash on a pickup day, please call Best
Trash directly and register any complaints with
Sterling ASI (Phone 281-491-0266). They will follow
up with Best Trash about the problem. Holidays,
which fall on our pickup days mean that trash will
be picked up the next normally scheduled service
day. The following is a list of holidays observed
by Best Trash: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day
and Christmas Day.
Please have your trash ready for pickup by 7 AM on
pickup days. Landscaping debris, such as large bags
of grass clippings, tree branches/limbs, etc. will be
picked up either day, but it must be carried to the
end of your driveway and left there for pickup; you
can bring these heavy items out the night before,
but please not several days in advance of pickup.
Your neighbors appreciate it!
Heavy household items such as hot water heaters,
washers, etc. are considered “heavy trash” and are
picked up on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
All other trash will be picked up “at the back
door” (outside the gate beside the garage, etc.) by
Best Trash. Please be sure trash is visible and/or
accessible to them, and please keep all pets safely
away from that area of your yard. We pay for “back
door” pickup, so that is where the men look for your
trash.
(GT ESTATES) RECYCLING
Recycling plays an important role in how we help
to protect the environment. The recycling day for
the neighborhood is on Wednesday. If a holiday
(see above) falls on Wednesday, recycling will be
serviced the following week. Have your recycling
bin at the curb no later 7:00 AM. You can recycle
the following items; newsprint, magazines, phone
books, corrugated boxes (broken down), noncorrugated
cardboard (i.e. cereal boxes, soda boxes,
etc.), HDPE Plastics 1 & 2 (look for the little triangle
symbol usually on the bottom of the container with
the number inside of it), aluminum and tin cans,
paper, plastics 1 through 7, all glass and all metals.
Items excluded include plastic bags, Styrofoam,
pizza boxes and food soiled items.
(GT ESTATES) RECREATION CENTER
Estates of Green Trails own the Recreation Center
at Shillington Drive and Fry Road. It consists of an
Olympic-size swimming pool, totally refinished in
the spring of 2015 and two tennis courts, recently
refinished in 2015. Use of these facilities is allowed
to all Estates of Green Trails residents in good
standing who have paid their annual maintenance
fee. Green Trails Section III residents in good
standing with their homeowners association can
also use these facilities.
Only residents who have been issued Pool/Tennis
Court Access Cards from Sterling ASI are admitted
into the pool and allowed to use the tennis courts.
