Traffic Safety:  Do not place ANY objects in public roadways. Bulk trash and yard waste, basketball hoops, the little neon “kid alert” signs or warning cones need to be at the end of your driveway or in your yard, not in the street.
 

On advisement of Constable Precinct 4: Any objects placed in a roadway are a violation and considered a traffic hazard.

Our Waste Collection Service is contracted for us by our Public Utility District and provided by Best Trash

Contact Best Trash directly regarding issues: Tel: 281-313-2378  Email: customerservice@besttrashtexas.com

 

Collection days:
Tuesday & 
Friday

We have “Backdoor Service” which means our trash and recycling (Fridays) cans should be visible and accessible ONLY on collection days and remain at our backdoor / garage / gate area. Do NOT take you cans to the curb.

Waste should be ready for collection by 7 AM

Best Trash Collection Guidelines

Regular household waste must be securely bagged and placed in your own waste can as per guidelines.

Yard waste should be placed at your curb as per guidelines (not on the street) and no earlier than the evening before collection days.

Recycling collection day is Friday – clean items as per guidelines HERE

If dirty or general waste is mixed with the recycling it will not be collected.

Yard & Bulk collection  – items as per GUIDELINES, should be placed at the curb on collection days.  No construction debris will be collected.

If you use a lawn care service, ensure that they do not leave your yard waste at the curb unless it will be collected that same day. Please also ensure that waste is not blown into the street where it can block street drainage. The only thing that should enter street drains is water. Read about Storm Drain Smarts

NOTE: The deed restrictions require that –  “All yard equipment, woodpiles, storage piles, and trash containers shall be screened from public view. No lot shall be used for the storage of materials for more than normal household use.”

 

Thank you for keeping Champion Forest tidy!

Community Entrances & Esplanades:

New electrics, lighting and irrigation installed at the gatehouses on Louetta. Fresh plantings for the area are in the works.

Quotes are being reviewed for lighting enhancements to our other entrances and monuments.

Wall Care: 

Recent wall restorations are now complete.

If you live along a community property wall, and notice an issue, please send an email report through the Board contact form on the website.

We require that every resident who has the direct benefit of our brick walls care for the walls by keeping their trees and foliage from growing against and over the walls. These practices will help us protect and prolong the life of our walls and prevent avoidable damage to these valuable community assets.

Be aware; owners are responsible for their and their guests and tenants damage to the Association’s common property.
