Trash Troubles – The Association office regularly receives reports from residents about trash and recycling in Brambleton. One area of trouble is in regard to wind. With the ongoing high winds in our area, wind-blown trash and debris is an ever present problem. Association staff and contractors work to clear trash and debris from common areas. Residents are reminded that the Association's governing documents require that they clear wind-blown trash from their property. Holiday Considerations – Holiday travel time is upon us. If traveling away from Brambleton for the holiday, please lock up your house and if possible have a neighbor watch out for anything unusual. Provide them with contact information just in case you need to be reached. Click here for the Loudoun County Neighborhood Watch newsletter for ideas on how to stay safe. If staying in Brambleton, and friends and family are visiting, please be mindful of parking and remind guests to do the same. Have a very safe and Happy Holiday!
