Before your moving day, email contactus@oldeivy.org to request a temporary gate entry code for your moving van driver to use at the Log Cabin Drive gates.
Restrictions on Moving Vans and Trucks
Please be aware of the following restrictions on moving vans:
Trucks and vehicles with trailers must NOT use the Beech Haven Trail exit gate, due to a sharp turn. They MUST use the Log Cabin Drive gate instead.
The use of 18-wheel vehicles is discouraged because of the narrow roads and tight turns in the Neighborhood.
If your mover plans to use an 18-wheeler, you must obtain prior approval from the property manager before the truck enters the neighborhood.
Be sure to alert your moving company and van driver about the gate restrictions. Ask them to take extra precautions when driving in the neighborhood.
Do not let your moving van block driveways or parking places, or park in a fire lane (marked by red curbs). If necessary, alert your driver to be prepared to move the van.
Portable Storage Units
When moving in or out, you may have a single portable storage unit (PODS unit) in a parking area at one time. The PODS unit may be parked at Olde Ivy for no more than three days. If you plan to park one of these units at Olde Ivy, please email the property manager, contactus@oldeivy.org.
For Manor Residents
Since Manor residents live in buildings with shared facilities such as the garage and elevator, there are some special issues to be aware of. Residents moving in or out of the Manor must provide the Property Manager with a deposit to cover any potential damage to the elevator or other common spaces.
Before your moving day, email the property manager, contactus@oldeivy.org, and request that your building garage gate is open during the hours you plan to move in or out. The Property Manager will arrange for protective elevator pads to be hung in your building elevator. Residents are responsible for any elevator damage, so think of the pads as protecting your own interests.
On your moving day, please use the garage entrance, rather than the front door of the building, to move your furniture and other possessions.
Two carts are available in each Manor garage. You may use these carts to assist with your move-in process, but please return them to the garage as quickly as possible, since other residents may also need them that day for groceries and such.
Getting Rid of Moving Materials
To avoid overwhelming the recycling bins and garbage bins and dumpsters, you are responsible for getting rid of your moving boxes and blankets:
Arrange for your moving company to remove your moving boxes and blankets.
Take the broken-down boxes and the moving blankets to a U-Haul or similar location for free reuse by their customers.
Do not discard moving blankets in the trash, as they are not recyclable and will take up too much room in the garbage bins.
The nearest U-Haul facility is located at Your Extra Attic Storage at 2909 Log Cabin Drive. There is also a U-Haul at the corner of Interstate 285 and exit 15 (South Cobb Drive).
Disposing of moving boxes in your Association. If you live in the…
Condos — If your unit has a recycling bin, stack your broken-down boxes in or near the recycling bin on the day of the early-morning pickup. If you do not have a bin, check with a neighbor to see if you can place your broken-down boxes in or near their recycling bin on the day of the early-morning pickup.
Manor — Large recycling bins are available in each Manor garage. If space is available, place broken down boxes near or behind the recycling bins in the Manor garage. Please do not overwhelm the recycling bins with your moving boxes, even if they are broken down.
Townhomes — Each unit has recycling bins. Stack your broken-down boxes in or near the recycling bin on the recycling pickup day.
View our Trash and Recycling page for additional information.
For all associations, Recycling pick-up is every other Friday (with an adjustment for holidays). Since they can be bulky, please don’t discard moving materials until the day before pickup. Recycling pickup is early in the morning – on the same day, but in a separate truck from Friday trash pickup.
