- Tuesday: Recycle
- Wednesday: Yard Waste
- Place roll carts at the curb by 6:00 AM on the day of pickup, and return them to a place out of view promptly after collection, but no later than 6:00 PM.
- Close the lids, and place the roll cart so the handles face your home (turned away from the street).
- Have at least 3 feet of clearance around the cart.
- Place carts on the opposite side of the mailbox, away from parked cars and low-hanging tree limbs.
- Use your old trash cans for yard waste, which will continue to be collected manually.
Call the Solid Waste Hotline at 407-836-6601 if you have additional questions. If you would like a “one-time” roll cart size change from 95 gallons (what was delivered) to a 65 gallon can (approximately 2″ shorter), call the hotline to add your name to the change request list.
Important Note: Roll cart changes will incur a charge equivalent to the cost of the cart.
ALLIGATORS: Recently, a large alligator was observed in the ponds. If you see an alligator over 4 feet in length and you feel it may be a nuisance, please contact the Nuisance Alligator Hot Line at 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392-4286).
FISHING: Fishing on the ponds is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Our ponds are stocked with FWC permitted Grass Carp and also contain electrical wires for the operation of our fountains and lights. Signage is posted stating “No Fishing or Swimming Allowed”.
NOISE: Lake Sheen Reserve is a quiet neighborhood. However, occasionally, loud noise from a party, a car, or a barking dog may become an issue for a homeowner. If such noise becomes a problem, please contact Orange County Sheriff at 407-836-HELP.
ONGOING IMPROVEMENTS: Our Board has worked diligently to maintain Lake Sheen Reserve as one of the premier addresses in all of Orlando. The community is making substantial investments in correcting several areas of deferred maintenance. Sidewalks have been repaired. Retention ponds are being maintained, as required by local governments. Our tree canopy has been trimmed on the majority of the trees to extend their useful life. As well as extensive landscaping updates and improvements.
DOGGIE STATIONS: The Board installed new “Doggie Stations” along the walkways. We have noticed that the vast majority of homeowners are responsible and are using the stations to dispose of their pets’ waste.
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE: Lake Sheen Reserve has a very active Architectural Review Committee that will work with you on any physical changes to the exterior of your property. The ARC will work with you in a collegial and collaborative way to ensure that you are able to upgrade/maintain your property to the community’s high standards. All residents are required by our Covenants and Restrictions to get approval for painting, landscaping and additions to homes. If you are contemplating such changes, contact our ARC team. They will work with you so that your requests are handled in a timely and professional manner. Pre-approval saves everyone time and money.
SAFETY: Lake Sheen Reserve is a very safe community with a very low crime rate. However, we rarely see crimes of opportunity, generally involving petty theft from unlocked cars or open garages. Please take care to keep your cars locked and your garage doors closed. Also, please report strangers to the Orange County Sheriff Department using 407-629-8400.
BOARD MEETINGS: The Board invites all homeowners to attend our meetings and to comment as the first agenda item. Dates are announced on a sign posted by the gates as you leave, about 48 hours before the meetings.
HURRICANES: The Board would like to stress the importance of proper preparedness for hurricanes. Preparedness starts before hurricane season starts. Trim trees in your yard, clean your gutters, and make a plan. Automatic standby generators are allowed with ARC approval.
Hurricane Season starts June 1st and ends November 30th.
