NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES PSA:

"Some Things Your Neighbor Should Not Have to Look At!"

Most residents of the County know that there are just some things your neighbors shouldn't have to look at. Be a considerate neighbor and take the following actions to make your yard clutter free!

In order to comply with County Property Codes residents should take care to ensure that:

  • Tools and lawnmowers are put away in a garage or shed and are out of sight after use.
  • Construction materials are either donated, removed or recycled after projects are completed.
  • Bags of trash and trash cans are to be stored at the side or back of the dwelling, or are screened from view by plants such as evergreens, or are placed behind a solid fence. (Remember also to roll the cans out to the curb on pick-up day and return them to their appropriate storage place as soon as you can after pick up.)

NONCOMPLIANT OUTDOOR STORAGE CREATES A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS

The County regulates certain types of outside storage under its Zoning Ordinance.  Depending on the items stored and the circumstances, outdoor storage may affect property appearance, create safety concerns, or provide shelter for rodents and other pests.  Residents should review the applicable zoning requirements to determine what may be stored outdoors and whether screening or other restrictions apply.

So what are you going to do with all of that stuff?

  • Organize, sort and reduce possessions that require storage.
  • Store items indoors, garage or shed, or behind areas that shield from view of others (Remember that sheds and fences require zoning approval.)
  • Reduce things no longer needed.
  • Recycle.
  • Take unwanted materials to the County Landfill.
