Independence Golf Cart Path Information

Please Respect Private Property

We are receiving reports of residents walking golf course trails and exploring the wooded areas beside walking paths along Founder Bridge Blvd.  Please remind family members and visitors that these areas are private property and that we have no special access privileges.  

IGC has provided a process for those wishing to use golf course trails and to fish the ponds. In the spirit of relieving the stress of social isolation, IGC has changed the cart path walking times for now. You can now walk before 8:30 a.m. and after 8 p.m Friday through Sunday and  before 9 a.m. and after 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. It requires registration and adherence to certain rules, the waiver form is attached.  In particular, only paying customers should be on the golf course property between the hours of 8:30 a.m.- 8 p.m.,  Friday through Sunday and 9 a.m.- 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday. IGC does not mind pets on the cart paths but any pet waste must be picked up and NOT disposed of in the golf course trash cans, the waste must be taken away and disposed of away from the course. With so many people cooped up at home, we realize everyone is looking for safe activities during the day.  If you’d like to spend time on the golf course, consider paying for a round.  You might find that you love the game!

Release of Liability for Cart Path

If your trash is ever missed, please contact County Waste at 804-843-9288. You can contact Maria Durbin at foundersbridge@gmail.com but your email will not be received until the following Monday.

Trash delay holidays are normally  New Years, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our normal trash day is Friday so with the holiday will delay it by one day so the pickup will be Saturday but there are occasions where they will stay on schedule. There may be holidays that do not change the pickup dates but we will let you know.

Recycling is now taking place every other Thursday starting July 13th, 2023. Below is a list of acceptable and non acceptable items. Please put your recycling cart at your curb on Wednesday night and return it to your storage area by night fall after it is emptied. Recycling carts should not be visible from the road just like the trash cans.

Trash parameters:

You are able to place up to 5 bags of leaves or yard debris out with their trash service each week.  If there is room in the County Waste trash cart we ask that it is filled prior to placing them on the side.  The bags need to be light enough for the driver to lift into the trash cart so he can dispose of it in the truck.  There is not stipulation between a paper or plastic bag being used.  Bundles of sticks and twigs can be placed out in place of the yard waste bags, again they need to be bundled small enough for the driver to easily place inside the cart so he can dispose of them in the truck.   

They ask that all trash materials are bagged prior to placing inside of the trash can this includes dog waste bags, whether curbside or back door collection. This is to help prevent any type of materials being left behind or animals getting into prior to service. Properly bagging is even more paramount for back door service as the crews do pull bags from inside of the containers. If there are items that are not bagged or not sealed properly they may get left inside of the can as the crew cannot reach down to the bottom of the container.
