Reminders
Construction Deadline: The stop date for outside construction work is Thursday, May 23, 2025 at sundown. After May 23, you may quietly perform inside work Monday-Saturdays, as long as you park off-site and do not block any roads. No trucks or trailers longer than 20’ will be allowed through the gates during the Chautauqua season. Power washing and exterior spray painting are not allowed unless done by the homeowner. In-season construction complaints can only be resolved by a full stop of work.
Smoke Detectors: Please check your smoke detectors when you return for the season, insert new batteries, and make sure you have a working fire extinguisher under your kitchen sink. If you’re physically unable to check your smoke detectors, you may call the Danbury Fire Department at (419) 798-5219 and they will provide assistance.
Off-Season Gate Information: After Labor Day, a Chautauqua Pass is not required to enter the Lakeside grounds. The Fifth Street Gate is accessible 24 hours. East/West Second St., Cedar Ave., East Fourth St. and South Gates close 9 p.m.-6 a.m.

Leaf Pickup
Fall Leaf Pick Up is Monday, Oct. 28-Friday, Dec. 13, 2024. Residents are asked to place their loose leaves in piles at the curb and the Maintenance Department will collect them as needed. To ensure that your leaves are picked up in a safe and efficient manner, please note the following:
- Leaves must be placed in long, narrow piles along the edge of the road. Ideally, piles should be roughly one foot into the road by 8 a.m. on the day of pick up.
- When raking, please rake onto the street pavement. If leaf piles are left in the yard or gravel areas, we can’t vacuum them because the gravel will damage the machinery. The leaves must be raked onto the pavement so the truck can reach them. The Lakeside crew will follow the printed schedule, so don’t hesitate to rake leaves onto the street pavement.
- We also ask that you please separate piles of sticks from the leaf piles. Sticks clog the machine’s intake hose, decreasing our efficiency and causing unnecessary wear and tear on the equipment.
- Trimmings from bushes, pulled up annuals, ivy and other vines, cut perennials and any potted plants (fern hanging baskets) should be placed in brown lawn refuse bags for regular garbage pick-up. Leaf bags can be purchased at the Administration Office for $5/five bags.
Thank you for your efforts to keep Lakeside a beautiful community.
Spring Leaf Pick Up will be posted later. Please ease bag leaves and put them out with the regular trash pickup. Residents are asked to place their loose leaves in piles at the curb and the Maintenance Department will collect them as needed.
