ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: LAKEWOOD TRAILS CARES
Posted on Mar 18th, 2020
Neighbors, thank you all for doing your part to help stop the spread of COVID-19. This is a difficult time for all of us, especially our elderly and "shut In" neighbors. But Lakewood Trails is such a special place, people have said they want to help where they can. The first way we all can help is to check on your neighbors, at a safe distance, of course.
In addition, Lakewood Trails has set up a new email address to assist any neighbors who may need someone to pick up groceries or prescriptions during this time. Please email LTNAcares@LakewoodTrails.net if you are unable to go shopping yourself, or if you would like to volunteer to run errands for your neighbors.
Neighbor Barbara Daniels has volunteered to lead this effort. THANK YOU BARBARA! She will collect email requests and forward them to volunteers.
Please note, we are planning to offer this service for the Lakewood Trails neighborhood area. If you have elderly loved ones who live in the lower East Dallas community including the M Streets, Lakewood, Lower Greenville and surrounding areas, help is available here: http://mstreetslifemagazine.com/helping-neighbors.html
Thanks all, and please be safe.

We will continue to monitor the situation and determine when it is safe to reschedule these events.
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.
The Department of Sanitation Services will begin a public awareness campaign in early 2020 to alert residents of the changes to brush and bulky trash regulations.
