Trash Outside our home Pickup is each Tuesday and Friday, usually in the morning. Trash containers are located outside at the back of the carports. Please have trash bagged and not loose. Braeswood Bayou The community inside the gates is quite beautiful and many neighbors enjoy walking here. There is also a popular trail along Braes Bayou that is usually accessed from the main driveway gate and down the sidewalk along Fondren. This is mostly used for walking and biking. You can even get to the Medical Center along this route. Visual delights along the bayou include fish in the water (they love snacks, especially cat food), a variety of birds, insects, and turtles. Mosquitoes can be vicious so be prepared and don't forget your sunglasses. From May through September, try to do any walking before 8:30 am or after 6pm.
