TRASH & RECYCLING

Bear proof, secured dumpsters are located just inside the gate on your left as soon as you enter. Dumpster usage is restricted to Laurel Ridge residents and tenants. All resident vehicles are identifiable. All guests/tenants using the dumpster should be aware of their property owners name and address to ensure compliance when asked. When placing trash in the dumpsters, always throw it as far into the dumpster as possible - or push it with one of the hoes located on site in order to make room for others to get their trash in the container. Corrugated cardboard should be flattened and taken to the town cardboard recycling dumpsters located on Rec. Center Road off of Blue Ridge Road. All fluorescent light bulbs including the new smaller ‘bulb replacement’ bulbs contain mercury and MUST be taken to the Black Mountain fire station for proper disposal. Should the dumpsters be full - NEVER leave trash outside the dumpsters! Please hold your trash in a secure location and wait until Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday following trash pick-up to return when the dumpsters are empty. Finally, you’ll note the dumpsters are securely closed. ALWAYS be sure to close and latch the dumpsters after placing your trash in them. Bears are expert dumpster finders... and if the dumpsters are unsecured, you’ll be causing a big mess!

Additionally, parking on the property of others without advanced permission is not allowed. FIRES / CAMPFIRES Outdoor fires are strictly prohibited. The only outdoor fires allowed in Laurel Ridge are periodic fire department supervised burns on the POA lot off of Wedgewood Terrace.

DRIVING SAFETY IN THE MOUNTAINS

The speed limit in Laurel Ridge is 20 m.p.h. In general, when driving in the mountains it’s wise to pay closer than normal attention to maintaining a prudent speed and staying on your own side of the center stripe! Not just in Laurel Ridge! Our winding mountain roads are inconsistently marked, often extremely curvy, have many steep grades and sharp turns. Add to that weather conditions and wildlife crossing and you have a lot to pay attention to! A good rule of thumb is to consider all speed limits TRUE limits... not mere suggestions! Slow down... enjoy the scenery!

FIREARMS / PROJECTILES

The discharge of any firearm or the use of any projectile device such as bows or sling shots, etc. are strictly prohibited. HUNTING / TRAPPING There is strictly no hunting or trapping allowed in the community or within the borders of Laurel Ridge’s 1200 acre property.

Renters and guests are encouraged to join in with our community spirit and contribute in any way you can during your stay. Taking a few minutes to weed a garden, picking up litter along the way when you’re out for a walk or inquiring about joining one of our committee activities when you’re visiting is always encouraged and welcome!
