LeMay is making some changes to their service here on JBLM. Starting August 1st, all trash must fit in your trash can with the lid closed
Excess trash that is not placed in a LeMay 32 gallon bag will result in an extra charge.
Please have all cans be available for collection no later than 6:00 a.m. to guarantee service. Drivers try to do their routes the same from week to week, however there are occasions when the drivers are required to make adjustments and as a result may arrive earlier or later than you are used to. There is an additional charge to have the driver return.
Please do not put dirt, rocks, sod, hot ashes or hazardous waste in your trash can. (Fines may apply)
Place excess trash into a LeMay 32 gallon bag and place it near the trash can. You can purchase these bags at your District Office.

Glass Recycling
Important Reminders from Pierce County Refuse:
Contamination, such as glass, can ruin the whole batch and damage processing equipment. Make sure only recyclable items are put into the Recycling Cart. This will result in less items being disposed of as garbage and more items being man-ufactured into new products. When the wrong items are put in the recycling cart, a written notice will be placed on our container explaining the contamination.

Parking/Traffic Control
To better accommodate our residents, we have im-plemented rules concerning parking. Your assigned parking is your carport, garage and your driveway. On street parking, if available is on a first come, first served basis in all Lewis-McChord Communities.
The street area directly in front of your home is not your exclusive parking area.
You may not use your parking area for storage of any kind.
Vehicles including motorcycles are not allowed to be parked on the grass, in front of dumpsters, or in any other area not appropriately marked for vehicle parking.
No one is allowed to park in a marked handicap space unless the legally required handicap insignia is dis-played in the vehicle.
You may not park anywhere a No Parking Sign is in-stalled.
You may not use any parking space to park a vehicle that is inoperable, leaks fluid onto the pavement, is unsightly, is a safety hazard, or has an expired license plate.
You may not use any parking space to perform vehicle maintenance or repair to include changing the oil.
If you violate any of these parking policies, your car may be towed without notice and at your expense.Visit your District Office for more information on parking spaces.
Recreational Vehicles
Recreational Vehicles
Recreational vehicles are not permitted to be stored within your neighborhood. Recreational vehicle parking lots are available through MWR. Please visit the JBLM website for more information.
For temporary passes for your recreational vehicle please visit your District Office for the process.
BBQ/ Fire Pits
If you wish to cook outdoors, Town Center residents please refer to your lease documents for limitations on grilling in your neighborhood.
Meriwether Landing/ Westcott Hill communities that have common BBQ/fire pit areas will need the cover to be replaced once the fire pit has completely cooled. All Residents are responsible to remove all trash/debris to be ready for the next resident to use.
For all other communities, all BBQ grills must be used at least 15 feet from your home to prevent damage to the siding. BBQ grills/fire pits are not to be used under over-hangs, eaves in garages or carports.
Only commercially purchased above ground fire pits are allowed in family housing and must be used at least 15 feet from your home and within your own yard.
All communities need to properly store flammable materi-als, keep a fire extinguisher or water source readily avail-able and supervise all fires by an adult until extinguished.
The burning of leaves, garbage and paper is strictly pro-hibited.
Landscaping
Landscaping services are currently included in your rent. On your lawn service day, you will need to ensure that your lawn is free of toys and personal belongings so the mowers can cut your grass. You can have one large non moveable item in your yard such as a swing set or trampoline. Please see your District Office for Outdoor Policies. The mowers will cut within two (2) feet of the item. You will be responsible to cut the grass under and the two (2) feet around the item.
You may choose to maintain your own lawn if desired. Contact your Community Office for a sign to put in your window.
If the home you live in has a fence either provided or installed by you, you are responsible for the maintenance of your yard.
All flowerbeds adjacent to your home are your respon-sibility to maintain weed-free. Failure to maintain may result in fines.

Water Conservation at JBLM
As Joint Base Lewis-McChord and surrounding communities continue to grow, the demand for water increases, along with the need for conserva-tion. To ensure a sustainable supply exists for present and future training needs at JBLM,
here’s a quick guide.
Effective irrigation is to apply the correct amount of water at the correct time to opti-mize uptake by the root system. Conservation measures were developed using regional local weather station evapotranspiration data that provides a scientific basis for healthy growth.

GO Lewis-McChord goes to DuPont
By Cathy Hamilton-Wissmer
Consider taking the GO Transit shuttle to get around Joint Base Lewis-McChord and beyond! GO Transit travels off-base to nearby DuPont. This small town, right outside the gates, offers a wide selection of restaurants and hotels to explore. The Du-Pont stop is in front of the Best Western Liberty Inn and across from the Sound Transit DuPont Station. You won’t need to worry about parking, the shuttle will drop you along one of its routes when you take advantage of the convenience of leaving the car and letting someone else do the driving.
GO Transit shuttle gets you around JBLM: Four routes, every 20 minutes from 0700-1800 Mon-day-Friday, and 1000-1800 on the weekends. It travels all over this large installation. Check out the www.golewismcchord.com site for schedule of stop times. This service is free and available to anyone who has base access via a Department of Defense ID card.
When boarding at DuPont, be prepared to show your ID.

GARDENING ON JBLMBY Cathy Hamilton-WissmerDirectorate of Public Works
Are you a gardener assigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord? There are ways to keep your hands buried in the soil and your soul filled with the potential of a tiny seed.
Container gardening can be a great way to decorate your entryway and works well for living in an urban area. It can be as simple as planting a geranium in a pot or as complex as an overflowing whiskey barrel.
Start with a drought tolerant potting soil mix that can retain moisture and save watering time. Arrange your plants in the containers by planting taller plants in the back or center and shorter plants that might spill over closer to the front of the pot.
Consider planting a pollinator garden in your community garden plot or in a container to support local bees and butterflies. They love flowers such as alyssum, aster, bee balm, borage, fennel, goldenrod, hollyhock, lavender, marigold, oregano, coneflower, verbena, yarrow, zinnia and sunflowers. Various flowering peren-nials also support neighborhood pollinators, and include native plants in your containers as they typically
have nectar-and pollen-rich flowers that can be planted organically to pro-vide a longer range food supply, from spring through fall.
Lifestyles have changed, and it has become a passion to eat healthier food, live a cleaner lifestyle and dis-cover your connection to nature.
Gardening guides are available every-where, making it easier to beautify the world, change your environment and feel wonderful. Encourage your family to go outside and play!
