General Stuff From the Village

Holiday Trash and Recycling Collection Schedule
Trash and recycling that would normally be picked up on Friday, July 4th will be picked up Saturday, July 5th.
Also, due to the holiday, the dumpsters at Public Works for extra trash and recycling cardboard will not be available this Saturday, July 5th, but rather next Saturday July 12th between 8 a.m. and noon

Free mulch is available at the Public Works facility on Dillon Industrial Drive between 7 am and 7:30 am and between 3 pm and 3:30 pm. For more information call 766-9170

Debris and Weeds
Section 92 of the Clemmons Municipal Code governs the response to public nuisances identified as uncontrolled growth of weeds or accumulation of trash. The public policies stated therein outline proper investigation and abatement procedures. If you notice such conditions, especially those producing offensive odor or causing vermin, please contact the Village staff to file a complaint.A message from the Appearance Commission . . .

Whether deliberate or unintentional, littering is against the law. Littering is costly . . . to clean up, to economic development, to community appearance, and to you, if you get a ticket. Stop littering. Think before you throw that cigarette butt out the window or that candy wrapper on the ground. If you miss the trash can, take the time and pick up your trash. Keep our community clean and free of litter. Thank you.

Storm Water Run-off Issues

Some neighbors in and around our neighborhood have experienced flooding. From minor basment leaks to full costly flooding, there is a problem with stormwater run-off and no one seems to want to take responsibility. We have reached out to the developer, several builders and the Village of Clemmons. They all seem to know there is a problem, but no one will take steps to fix it. Basically, the new ordinance that was just passed to eliminate this problem applies to new developments, however- we are on the list of existing developments that will need attention. We just need to make sure that we are heard. If you have run-off problems, or even if you do not, it affects all of us in the long-run. Home property values are lowered due to the reputation of a neighborhood that floods when it rains, so we need to make our development a priority and get this corrected!

Street Light Update

Where are the street lights you ask? All the marketing materials for CC mentioned "new development with street lights" however to date there are obviously no lights installed.
After a number of calls attempting to find the responsible party, there apparently is a department within the Village of Clemmons office that should complete the installation. Through conversations with the office I have learned that department policy is to only install lights at official intersections. I have emailed Larry Kirby (contact at the Village of Clemmons office) requesting a meeting to further understand how many lights will be installed and the applicable locations. I hope to have an update later next week. http://www.clemmons.org/
