Greetings from your POA!
We’re excited to share news about our new partnership with Amazon! As online shopping continues to grow, managing package deliveries in our mountain community has become increasingly challenging To help make things easier, we ’ ve partnered with Amazon to bring a more convenient delivery option to Big Canoe.
Your Package Porch is now an Amazon Pickup Counter. When placing an order on Amazon, you can select the Big Canoe Package Porch as your delivery location for eligible items If an item is not eligible for Pickup Counter delivery, it will continue to be routed through USPS in Jasper and delivered as usual.
You can pick up your package anytime after 2:00 PM on the day you receive your Amazon code. This gives the Package Porch team time to sort and organize incoming deliveries
Benefits of using the Amazon Pickup Counter include:
Faster Delivery times
Increased security, reducing the risk of lost or misdelivered packages
No cost to Property Owners
Amazon will pay the POA for each package received at the Package Porch
If you have any questions about using the new Amazon Pickup Counter, please click the link below to submit an ASKthe POA request. A step-by-step guide is also available at the link below to help you get started.

HelpingKeepOurTrash FacilityClean
Here are a few helpful reminders to keep everything working properly for everyone:
The trash compactors are intended for property owner/renter household trash only. If it fits in a standard trash bag, it is welcome. We kindly ask that contractors NOT use the facility for dumping construction materials.
Large, loose, bulky items should not be forced into the compactors, nor dumped anywhere on the ground near the facility, including within the Public Works compound. These items must be hauled to the local landfill or kept until the quarterly bulk trash day.
The aluminum can trailer is for recycling aluminum drink cans only thank you for helping keep other materials, such as tin cans or trash, out of this container.
The open top dumpster is intended for loose yard debris only (ex. sticks, limbs, leaves, plant and shrub cuttings, etc.). Construction material should not be dumped in the open top dumpster—it can be hauled to the local landfill or kept until bulk trash day. Bagged household trash must go into the compactors.
Cardboard is not recycled; however, we ask that you place it in the appropriately labeled auger compactor, which breaks it down to conserve space.
The open top dumpster within the Public Works compound is for metal recycling only. It is not a bulk trash bin. Please do not place non-metallic items in or near it. Furniture, carpet, cabinetry, construction material, etc., should be hauled to the local landfill or kept until bulk trash day.
For safety reasons, please do not climb on or into the metal recycling dumpster. Items placed inside are to be left alone and not removed.
We truly appreciate your cooperation in helping keep our community clean, safe, and efficient for everyone. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
All other recycling is available for Big Canoe residents at Cove Road, and we encourage you to utilize that facility to help reduce the quantity of waste taken to the landfills.
