• Each sub-association has an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) which is responsible for the overall administration, change approval, and compliance enforcement of all architectural, landscape, and design aspects of the sub-association.  These rules and regulations can typically be viewed on their website. Procedures to follow if you are planning to make any changes to the exterior of your home or to its landscaping should be listed there.
   

• To ensure that you always will receive updated electronic announcements regarding Annual Meetings, Board Meetings and all other aspects of life in Spanish Wells, it is important to make certain your email address in DwellingLive is current and that you have authorized electronic communications in DwellingLive. This can be accomplished by contacting the SWCA office.

• Trash, Recycle, and Horticultural Waste Pickup
   

Trash and recycle pickup is weekly based on the schedule of each sub-association.  To maintain our streets in an uncluttered condition for as long as possible, please do not place your trash and recycle containers at the curb before the scheduled time for your association. After the trash has been emptied bring them in and out of sight as quickly as possible after pickup.

​

In order to make it possible for the recycling truck’s automated system to pick up your recycling container, please place the container at the curb with the wheels and handle facing your house (there is a directional arrow on the lid indicating direction to face the bin).  In addition, please leave a minimum of three feet between the recycling container and any other containers and/or material that you put out for regular trash and recycle collection.

​

Lee County requires that both trash and recycling containers have lids.  This rule is to prevent overnight rummaging by animals.  For the same reason, if you have any plastic bags that, for some reason, do not fit into your waste container, please do not place them curbside until the morning of pickup.

​

Bulk items (such as refrigerators, ovens, and hot water heaters, electronics, television sets, and computer equipment) should be left out with the regular garbage. If it can't be disposed of on the local pickup, the driver will arrange to have it picked up over the next few days. Leave the items by the end of the driveway.

​

Horticulture waste pickup is weekly. Each sub-association has their own schedule which can usually be found on their website or by contacting a board member of that sub-association.  As is the case with trash and recycling containers, landscape trimmings/cuttings should not be placed at the curb before the scheduled time on the day before pickup.  If not placed in a container or bag, cuttings and plant material waste must be tied in bundles that do not exceed 4 feet in length.
