Dumping leaves and/or brush in the forested areas and outlots of Legend Lake is prohibited by both State and County laws. To avoid penalties of this kind, use the Compost Site operated by the Association for the convenience of its members.

Leaves must be emptied from plastic bags and the bags taken with you. The attendant on duty will determine the acceptance or rejection of any materials in question.

Brush brought to the site is chipped and is available to members in good standing. Since the chips and compost (black dirt) are quite popular, we request that you take only what you will use on your property at Legend Lake. Quantities may be limited, at discretion of the Compost manager.

Grass clippings must be spread out – not left in clumps or piles. Separate pine from hardwoods and place in appropriate piles. Brush over 4” is to be placed in the camp fire wood pile.

—PLEASE READ AS THE RULES HAVE CHANGED!!—

The LLPOA compost was originally established as a convenience and source of recycled materials to LLPOA members. Its use has grown over the years, and more and more members have been taking advantage of the site. Occasionally, we have to remind our members of simple guidelines:

 

• Materials must be divided into categories and separated into those categories in order to provide the most effective and efficient use of the site.
• Materials such as leaves, grass, sea weed and such are set aside so as to provide a source of recycled materials such as mulch, fertilizer and top soil.
• Wet and rotted materials and tree stumps are not allowed
• The chipper is limited as to the diameter of the wood/branches that can be chipped. The diameter cannot exceed 4 inches. Any branches, trunks or wood materials exceeding the 4 inch diameter need be cut into 24 inches (Max Length) before arriving at the site and upon arrival, deposited on the firewood pile.
•  Finally, please remember that the area is a COMPOST SITE NOT A DUMP established for the recycling of recyclable materials, not a dumping area for unwanted goods such as construction materials and garbage.

 

Your consideration in this matter is appreciated. Any questions, please feel free to contact Lodge office – 715-799-3317

In order to maintain equity in the distribution of recyclable materials, hauling & loading will be limited to HAND TOOLS ONLY!!!
