LTNA GARDEN CORNER
 For anyone who has an interest or a passion for gardening, we offer seasonal garden news, information, and “tips” you can use to indulge your inner “Mother Nature” or “Johnny Appleseed.” The Garden Corner also offers you opportunity to share your own experiences, information or questions about all things lawn and garden-related! We welcome your comments/ pictures OR ideas for articles.
Summer Garden Corner #1 is all about using your extra time this summer to grow your own vegetable garden, by our neighbor Donna Dierkes.
Summer Garden Corner #2 is about some of our LTNA neighbors who have been making the most of this "sheltering at home" time by planting and tending their very own vegetable, fruit and herb gardens at their homes.
Please feel free to tell us about your experiences in the garden and share your landscape tips by sending an email to us at Neighbors@LakewoodTrails.net

2020 BRUSH AND BULK COLLECTION
Posted on Jan 14th, 2020
Lakewood Trails brush and bulk trash collection is the third week of the Month. For 2020, the weeks are: Jan 19, Feb 16, Mar 15, Apr 19, May 17, Jun 14, Jul 19, Aug 16, Sept 21, Oct 18, Nov 15, and Dec 20. Items must be set out by 7am on the Monday of collection week, but not earlier than the Thursday before our collection week.
More information and to download the Dallas Sanitation app: DallasBrushandBulk.com
On June 19, 2019 the Dallas City Council adopted an ordinance amending regulations related to brush and bulky trash. Monthly brush and bulky trash collection will be limited to 10 cubic yards. (10 cubic yards = approximately 10 stoves). One month per calendar year, residents may set out up to 20 cubic yards, provided it is requested by calling 3-1-1 in advance. Enforcement of these new limits begins on July 1, 2020.
Where the quantity of brush and bulky trash set out for collection exceeds 10 cubic yards and a request for an oversized brush and bulky trash collection was not submitted, the set out may be collected and a fee will be assessed on the dwelling unit's water bill. The fee will be assessed at a rate of $60 per five cubic yards, billed in five cubic yard increments. A citation may be issued in addition to the collection fee.
