Hammock Cove Residents:
Garbage, recycling and yard waste pickup
As everyone is aware, the City of Port St. Lucie has contracted with a new waste disposal company. The new service starts the week of September 5th, 2022. Everyone should have received a new trash can for the household waste. The new schedule for Hammock Cove is as follows:
Garbage: Thursday
Recycling: Thursday
Yard Waste: Thursday
Bulk Waste: Third Thursday of the month (once a month)
Please have all items at the end of your driveway by 7am on the day of pickup.
Please make sure that all items are in the bin they provided. Per the Rules and Regulations, "Garbage is not to be placed at curbs in plastic bags."
We have also been informed by the City of Port St Lucie, that the Recycle Bins (green) are not to be used for anything other than for recycling material. If they are used for other material, it will contaminate the recyclables which causes a problem at the plant. Please do not use these bins for yard waste either.
For more information regarding the new services, please visit the City website:
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and let's continue to keep our community clean and safe.

Hammock Cove Residents,
We have noticed that several trees in the community have been "hatracked."
Per the Port St Lucie, FL Code of Ordinances states the following:
"(F) Pruning and Topping: Trees shall be pruned only as necessary to promote healthy growth. Trees shall be allowed to attain their normal size and shall not be severely pruned or "hatracked" in order to permanently maintain growth at a reduced height. Trees may be periodically pruned or thinned in order to reduce leaf mass in preparation for tropical storms. All pruning shall be accomplished in accordance with the National Arborist Association's standards."
We are under rules by the City of Port St Lucie per the PUD that was implemented when the communities were built. We have to abide by these rules. If you propose to remove a tree, a permit has to be applied for with the City of Port St Lucie.
It has been determined that any work to be done on trees needs to submit an ARB for approval before any work is to be done on the trees. All severe trimming of trees needs to be accomplished by certified arborists. Fines will be imposed in the future for failure to adhere to these guidelines.
The pictures below show trees that are "hatracked" and this should not happen. This type of cutting will bring pests and disease to the tree, as well as weaken it and cause problems in the future.
Thank you for your understanding.

ARB APPROVALS
It has been brought to our attention, that several residents have completed work on the exterior of their homes without ARB approval.
Please remember that ALL work on the exterior of your home has to be approved by the ARB. If work is done without ARB approval, the homeowner will be assessed a $100 fine and still have to submit an ARB for approval.
If the ARB is not approved, the homeowner will have to restore the property to the original condition before the work was completed.
