Trash collection days are Monday & Thursday.  If a holiday falls on a collection day, that day will be skipped and collection will occur on the next scheduled collection day.  The contractor will remove unlimited household trash (within reason), and yard waste will be picked up separately each Wednesday during April through November only.  Items such as furniture, construction materials, paint products, etc. are not considered household trash and must be disposed of privately.  Residents may contact Key Sanitation directly if they have any trash collection concerns or questions at 301-668-8282.

YARD WASTE  **  Due to restrictions at the Frederick County Landfill, effective May 1st, 2006, yard waste (including grass clippings, bushes, branches, etc.) may not be mixed with household trash. There is a separate pickup on Wednesdays for all yard waste.  Clippings must either be placed in paper yard waste bags (available at Wal-Mart and most home improvement/hardware stores).  Larger branches must be neatly bundled in lengths not to exceed 3', and may not exceed 3" in diameter. **

Pets are welcome in Cambridge Farms, but please remember to adhere to all County and Association regulations ... pets must be accompanied by a responsible person and leashed when on common areas, and all solid waste must be picked up immediately.  The governing documents state that pets are not to be a "source of annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood or other members."  Pet complaints should be made to PMP in writing. 

Snow removal in Cambridge Farms is conducted by both the County and the HOA's private contractor, Shade Tree Lawn Care.  The responsibilities are shared as follows:

~  Homeowners are responsible to clear the areas on their private property as well as the sidewalk in front of and/or adjacent to their property. 

~  The Association contracts with Shade Tree Lawn Care for removal of snow on all town home court drive lanes and sidewalks.

~  Frederick County clears snow from all single family home streets.  For questions or complaints regarding the County service, please contact the Frederick County Highway Operations Division at (301) 600-1564.

Parking & Towing - All residents are subject to the adopted governing documents and the parking restrictions therein.  However, Frederick County is responsible for enforcing vehicle violations which occur on county roads, and the Association enforces violations within the town home courts and common area and private property.  Except when there are safety or access concerns, vehicles within the common areas and town home courts will be provided at least 24 hours notice prior to being towed.  The tow contractor for Cambridge Farms is Grimm's (301) 694-6613. 

Commercial vehicles, boats, trailers, RVs and the like are prohibited within the community unless fully enclosed within a garage.  Temporary parking of boats, RVs and utility trailers may be permitted ONLY for a limited time, and ONLY with prior HOA approval.  Contact PMP for details, or download a copy of the policy by clicking on the "Document Center" tab to the left, and then go to "Parking".   

Street lights within the town home courts are maintained by Allegheny Power.  If you notice that one is not working properly, please note the location of the fixture (address it is in front of), or even better, the pole number.  You may report the problem by either contacting PMP or Allegheny Power directly by calling 1-800-255-3443.

Gas Lamps should be lit at night!  Not only does it look nice, it keeps your street illuminated which is a good crime deterrent.  Mantles can be purchased in the camping section at Wal-Mart.
