We have already had one fire in the median that was caused by a cigarette that started a mulch fire. Residents, please secure your recycling materials, as there have been incidents due to the high winds, that newspapers placed for recycle were spread throughout the community. Lids for recycling bins are available for $4.00 and extra bins for $6.00 from the Frederick County Recycling Office (301-696-2960). Additional information is available by telephone or the Frederick County website, http://www.co.frederick.md.us/Recycling. The Board is considering changing the late fee structure on the monthly assessments, going from a percentage basis to a $5.00 flat fee. Please give us your comments on this.

Yard Waste Recycling *For Single Family and Town Homes:* Yard waste and grass clippings pickup will occur on *Wednesdays* from April through November only. Grass and other yard clippings can be placed in paper bags, kraft bags, or loose in uncontaminated containers. The trash hauler cannot/will not take grass/yard waste in plastic bags. No sod will be allowed. 4" diameter branches may be bundled with cord and recycled as well, as long at the bundle does not exceed 4' in length. All yard waste and grass clippings will be recycled which helps our environment and saves the association in landfill dumping fees. Should you have any questions, contact the management office at 301-620-0782. Solicitors Management would like to provide the following information to residents regarding solicitors/solicitation: Spring Ridge has a No Solicitation policy. There are “No Solicitation” signs at both entrances of the community. Solicitors who go to homes door to door sometimes state they have a permit to solicit on the property. Please note that this information is false. Permits are not issued for solicitation in Spring Ridge because the community is considered private property. From Monday - Friday (except on a holiday) if a solicitor comes to your door, please tell them there is No Soliciting in Spring Ridge. Then, immediately call Management in the Visitor Center at 301-620-0782 (Be sure to include the street where the solicitor was seen, if you can, provide a description of the person (s) soliciting, and any other information that could be helpful (examples: vehicle license plate info.,business card of person soliciting, phone number and contact information for the company that is soliciting). On Saturday and Sunday, and any holiday, please call the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office at 301-694-1046. In an emergency, where a solicitor would become violent or dangerous, call 911. Lost And Found Found: Ladies Watch. Found on playground near swimming pools. Found: Mens Watch. Found near the asphalt path between Spring Forest Road and Claridge Drive. If you think either of these watches could be yours, please contact the Visitor Center at 301-620-0782. Be prepared to provide a description of the watch(es) to claim one or both.

Please drop one (1) dozen EMPTY eggs per child, along with the sign up slip below beginning Monday, March 20th and ending Thursday, April 6th.
