Dear Trailwood Springs Homeowners,

All homeowners should have received your new blue recycling cart from the City of Raleigh. Trailwood Springs begins using the new blue cart on Thursday, September 13th.  From that date on, recycling will be picked up every other Thursday. You are welcome to keep your old green container or drop it off to the Yard Waste Recycling Center 900 N New Hope Rd. M-Sat., 7a-4p, Solid Waste Services Administrative Office 630 Lake Beacon Dr M-F, 7a-4p or at all City of Raleigh Fire Stations. Additional information including a recycling calendar can be found on the City of Raleigh website. 

As per community rules and City of Raleigh Ordinance recycling bins must be stored in the rear of the building and not visible from the street.  Bins should be placed for pickup no earlier than 5:00pm on the day prior to pickup and returned to the rear of the home by dusk the day of pickup. If you elect to keep your old recycling bins they must also be stored in the rear of the home in an area not visible from the street.

 Thank you and have a great day!

Not unlike your own personal power bills, the power bill for the community is a substantial reoccurring cost.  The HOA’s power bill is directly tied to the streetlights within our neighborhood.  To insure that our money is well spent, the board recently consulted Progress Energy to see if newer fixtures would shed more light at an equal or lesser cost.  As an outcome of the conversation, you will soon see upgraded lamp fixtures throughout the community.  The new lamp fixture has the same bulb type, but features a clear glass as opposed to the semi-opaque yellow frosted glass found on the current fixtures.   Since the lamps are leased, the upgrades are at no cost to the community.  In addition to the updated lamps, we will also be improving the lighting to all three entrances to the community.  It is hoped that the updated fixtures, in conjunction with the additional streetlights, will allow for those walking or driving in the community to see others better and feel safer. 

On Saturday, February 18^th, the Trailwood Springs HOA kicked off their neighborhood beautification project by landscaping the fence line along Lineberry Road. With more than 20 volunteers, 68 new Ligustrums and “Swift Creek” privets were planted along the fence followed by 50 yards of new mulch. The group started around 9:00am and finished up by 2:00p.    It was a most productive day with great neighbors and great weather, working together to improve the look of our community.

Homeowners can now login and check their account balance, opt in to receive e-statements rather than paper, and setup recurring payments.  https://emp.cincweb.com/?a=60
