Recycling Information / Disposal of Hazardous Materials UPDATED 2/09
Frederick Couinty has instituted the new “single stream” program that allows households to recycle more materials than ever before, including wide-mouth plastic containers, hardbound books, aerosol cans and juice cartons. A complete description of acceptable materials was attached to the newly delivered carts but it is also posted on the Office of Recycling web site at www.co.frederick.md.us/recycling.
Recycling will now be collected on Wednesday, instead of Tuesday, and instead of weekly collection it will be done twice a month. The county sent out a calendar for each area indicating which days will be collection days, as well as a panel of stickers to be put on calendars to serve as a reminder. Recycling toters are required for curbside service and must be placed at curbside by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day. Any services issues should be reported directly to Allied Waste Service at 301-694-6498 or frederickrecycles@republicservices.com
It is important for Eaglehead residents to remember that the curbside recycling program is not a service provided by the Lake Linganore Association (LLA). Frederick County’s Office of Recycling under the Division of Utilities and Solid Waste Management is in charge of the program and all problems or complaints should be directed to them. The Office of Recycling can be reached by calling 301-600-2960.
Disposal of Hazardous Waste
For more details about recycling or disposal of hazardous materials such as paint, oil, automotive parts, etc., please contact the Frederick County Division of Utilities and Solid Waste Management (DUSWM) at 301-694-1848, or visit their website at: http://www.co.frederick.md.us/Recycling/

Signs
Placement of any type of signage is regulated by LLA Covenants and Rules and Regulations. Signs advertising any services are prohibited on private property and LLA common property. 'For Sale' and 'For Rent' signs may be placed on private property. For Sale, For Rent, and yard sale signs may only be placed on LLA common property between Friday evenings at 6:00 pm and must be removed by no later than that Sunday evening at 6:00pm. LLA will remove any signs that are not placed in accordance with the rules. Signs will be held until the following Wednesday and then discarded if not claimed.
Basketball Hoop Registration
Portable basketball hoops are frequently the source of complaints from Eaglehead residents to the LLA office primarily because they tend to be left in the roads and block traffic. Portable hoops are made to be stored away after use. Technically this kind of sports equipment is not permitted within the Eaglehead Planned Unit Development (PUD), particularly the permanent kind, but the LLA is more interested in getting residents to use them properly than in generating fines for violations.
The LLA Environmental Control Committee (ECC) goal is to get identification of the equipment so that when complaints come in, rather than confiscate the equipment, staff can easily contact the owner to inform them that a problem has occurred. Only blatant violators will find their equipment confiscated.

Hoops Registration
LLA
6718 Coldstream Drive
New Market, MD, 21774. Registration stickers will be forwarded.
ATV's, Motorcycles, Go Carts, Prohibited.
All three and four wheel all-terrain vehicles, dirtbikes, go carts, electric and gas powered 'mini motorcycles' , or any other type of vehicle not registered by the Motor Vehicle Administration are strictly prohibited from use on private property, LLA roadways, and LLA common property. Residents are encouraged to contact the LLA office to report this type of activity. During non-business hours, residents should contact the Frederick County Sheriff at 301.694.2071 to report this activity.
Use of Lake Linganore Common Property
Lake Linganore Association (LLA) common ground is land that is reserved for the use of all Eaglehead esidents and cannot be used by individuals for other purposes. Though the LLA is gradually adding to the trail system and the park areas, much of the common ground in the community remains wooded land situated adjacent to homes. Disposing of lawn clippings, placing private recreational facilities such as play equipment, gazebos, patio furniture or creating private gardens on common grounds is not permitted and will be removed. The cost to clean up areas where lawn and yard debris is dumped by residents takes away money that can be used for other amenity upgrades, such as for trails and parks. All Eaglehead residents can participate in making the community a wonderful place to live by not dumping yard debris in the common areas.
In addition, residents are reminded that unimproved land next to their home may be privately owned by another LLA member, in which case such dumping is trespassing. Please be a good neighbor and ispose of yard debris properly.
Obey Traffic Laws
The maximum vehicle speed throughout the Eaglehead PUD is 25 miles per hour. Some roads have a lower speed limit. Please obey all traffic laws...they are there to protect our property and our lives.
Animal Control
The Lake Linganore Association and its residents and members are required by Frederick County ordinance to keep pets from roaming at-large throughout the community. Owners are required to accompany pets for outdoor exercise and to keep pets leashed. Animals running loose are at risk of being reported to the Frederick County Animal Control, which can remove the animal from the community.
Frederick County Ordinances
General Restrictions
Section 1-5-1. Definitions. At-large: An animal shall be deemed to be at-large whenever it is not on the owner’s property or under the immediate physical control of a responsible person capable of physically restraining the animal.
Section 1-5-24. Running at-Large. It shall be unlawful for an owner to allow any animal to run at large.
Public Nuisance: Any animal found repeatedly running at large, damaging property, molesting passersby, chasing vehicles or acting in any manner which is deemed to be doing damage to property or to the public health and well being or shall have been determined by the animal control officer, the local health officer or any other authorized representative of the county to be a detriment to public health, welfare, and safety shall be deemed to be a public nuisance.
Pet Owner Responsibilities
Eaglehead residents and LLA members who walk their dogs are required to clean up after the pet. Doing so helps to eliminate a public health concern in common areas, demonstrates respect for your neighbors and the safety of their children, and it protects the quality of the water in our lakes, which is the sole source of drinking water for Eaglehead.
Between May 15 and September 15, dogs are permitted in the beach areas only after 7:00PM. All other times, dogs are prohibited from the beach areas.
Before leaving home for your walk, grab a plastic bag or stop by one of the doggi pot stations out in the community that provide plastic bags for clean up purposes. There are over 30 doggi stations located throughout six villages.
Also, please be sensitive to your neighbors by not allowing your dog to bark for extended periods of time. This is a serious issue that pet owners must address.
