Christmas Tree Disposal

Republic Services offers free Christmas tree pickup January 2 through 17. Remove all decorations, including lights, ornaments, tinsel, stands, and any flocking. Trees over six feet must be cut into four-foot sections. Place trees curbside on your regular collection day.

Snow Removal

Snow is just around the corner.  Make sure snow from your driveway and sidewalk is not shoveled into the streets, as this can impede traffic flow and obstruct drainage systems.  Instead, shovel snow onto your lawn where it can gradually melt.

Motorized Vehicles

Motorized vehicles, bicycles, and e-scooters are strictly prohibited in all HOA common areas. If you witness violations, promptly contact the Caldwell Police Department at 208-454-7531 to report the incident.

Idaho restricts motorized vehicles on sidewalks to protect pedestrians, except for authorized devices. Motorcyclists must follow licensing, equipment, insurance, and safety regulations.  Below are links to Idaho Laws pertaining to sidewalks and motorized vehicles, including motorcycles.
