Violators may also be subject to a fine.

The correct placement for your trash receptacle is as follows: 1. If your property is “fronted” with sidewalk and an area that is commonly referred to as a “devils strip”, then your trash receptacle should be placed in that area; i.e., on the grassy area between your sidewalk and the curb.

______Last Revised: 1/19/2018 12:38 AM 2 2. If your property does not have a sidewalk, then the receptacle should be placed with wheels be towards your house aligned in the curb’s gutter. 24. Yard waste is scheduled for pick-up by the town of Zebulon. There is a schedule published annually and is up to the resident to know when pickups are performed. This pick-up is typically, every other week, the day after our normal garbage collection day. As with trash containers, yard waste should not be put at the street any earlier, than sunset of the day prior to pickup.

The correct placement for your yard waste is as follows: 1. Yard waste must be placed on the owners’ side of the curb, i.e., not in the curb’ gutter, nor in the street. 2. Yard waste must not be placed in any kind of bag…recyclable or not. The contract that the town of Zebulon carries, does not allow for “bagged” yard waste to be picked up. 3. Failure to follow these rules could and will result in fines being levied to the homeowner by the town of Zebulon; not the HOA!

25. VIOLATIONS: Violators of these Rules and Regulations and/or the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Taryn Meadows will be subject to a fine.
