Trash & Recycle Days & Cart Storage

Polk County collects household trash and yard waste weekly on a Monday. Curbside recycling collection has been discontinued. You may continue to use your recycling cart for household or yard waste, until your cart is no longer serviceable, or you may call the Solid Waste Division at (863) 284-4319 to request it be removed. Carts must not be stored on the driveway or in front of the garage, unless it has been approved by the Board of Directors. Hampton Lakes provides a trash valet service, the contractor will bring your trash cart to the curb and place them back to the side of your home in the correct location for you each week. All trash must be placed in bags and placed inside the trash cart. Loose trash is not permitted and will not be picked up by the county. You may request additional trash and recycling bins through Polk County. For questions regarding trash pick-up, please contact Polk County at (863) 284-4319 or visit their website: Polk County Waste and Recycling

 

Bulk Collection

Bulk Collection is now limited to Furniture, Appliances, and other household items that were not attached to the home. These items will be collected on the 2nd Monday of the month. Please neatly place your items within 3ft of the curb and more than 3ft away from any fixed objects (cars, mailboxes, telephone poles, etc.) before 6 am on the collection day. If you have household items that are small enough to fit in your cart with the lid closed, feel free to dispose of them with your weekly garbage. For more information, please call (863) 284-4319.

​

NOT Accepted Items:

• Construction debris (including fencing, pallets, and glass)

• Tires

• Automotive parts

• Engines

• Hazardous waste

• Fixtures (sinks, toilets, etc.)

• Cabinets

• Renovations (tile, flooring, carpeting, padding, paint cans)

• Large piles of debris or bags from move-outs or evictions

 

Storage of Miscellaneous Items

Florida Statute 720.3045 became effective on July 1, 2023, and states as follows:

"Regardless of any covenants, restrictions, bylaws, rules, or requirements of an association, and unless prohibited by general law or local ordinance, an association may not restrict parcel owners or their tenants from installing, displaying, or storing any items on a parcel which are not visible from the parcel’s frontage or an adjacent parcel, including, but not limited to, artificial turf, boats, flags, and recreational vehicles."

 

The HOA will abide by the statute, but the homeowner must submit an ARC application. Items installed, stored, or displayed must not be visible from ground level, and are not hazardous or present potential environmental issues, including, but not limited to attracting vermin or the storage of pollutants. The homeowner is responsible for the upkeep (power washing, etc) to keep all items in good condition. The violation process will be used for items that are not in compliance, which could result in the homeowner having to remove them.  

​

Architectural Review Committee (ARC)

All architectural and landscape changes to your property must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee before work is started. The application form is available on the ARC committee page.  The  form must be emailed to arc@hamptonlakes.net for reviewed during the next monthly ARC meeting. Most applications that fall within the community guidelines will be approved, the process creates reasonable controls to maintain standards throughout the community. Such changes would include but not limited to the following:

• Painting or changing the external color of the home

• Other changes to the external appearance

• Installing a privacy fence

• Replacing roof and/or installing solar panels

• Installation of guttering

• Landscaping

• Driveway widening

Making modifications to your property without approval can result in fines and remediation costs.

​

Noise

For your safety, please do not attempt to resolve any amplified noise or public nuisance problem by yourself. The correct way forward is to contact the local Polk County Sherriff’s Department. In an emergency dial 911. For non-emergency matters, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office can be reached at (863) 298-6200 or Toll-Free at 1-(800)-226-0344. Report the problem and ask for an incident report number and a copy of the incident report from the Sheriff's Department (the reporting homeowner will always get one if requested). Then you should pass this on to the HOA Management Company. Vital Security provides night-time security patrols, and their contact details will be updated here soon.

 

Fishing in the lakes

The HOA has a No Fishing policy at the lakes situated within the community. Signs are placed around both lakes to serve as a reminder of this rule. What might seem like a harmless leisurely past-time could create a huge cost for the HOA. Both lakes are retention ponds for the irrigation system, and have plastic liners that could be ripped by a fishing hook and cause leakage, resulting in costly repairs. Florida is home to over 1 million Alligators, and while there have been no recent sightings there is always the possibility of Alligators being in the lakes. For your own safety please keep away from the water's edge and do not feed turtles, fish, or any other wildlife.
