Spring Cleaning

Now that winter is in the rear view mirror, I am sure many of you and your neighbors are getting your yards ready for the spring and summer.

To help, the city of Boise is offering a free week of overflow trash collection. The “Spring Cleanup” as we have dubbed it is from April 26th-30th. Residents can dispose of larger amounts of trash from their clean up. Set out as much yard waste/trash in 20-32 gallon containers and paper leaf bags on your regular trash day from the 26th-30th. Please yard waste only and no more than 60-pounds in the paper bags. No overflow stickers are needed! (See attachment for more details.)

Now, before you send everything to the landfill as trash, “dig down” and look at your options. The attached newsletter also has more details on other options such as composting, household hazardous waste collection, large item pickup and more. Also attached is a list with resource information about where to donate reusable items, what to do with tires and more.

In addition, we know many of you already have neighborhood clean up events and this is a great opportunity for neighborhood associations to assist those residents who may have trouble keeping their properties clean (the elderly, disabled, etc.) by helping them dispose of unwanted items.

Please share this information with your neighbors and give me a call if you have any questions or need help. We look forward to assisting you in finding solutions that meet your needs, and keep your neighborhoods livable, friendly and vibrant.

Enjoy this nice weather and have a great spring!

Boise Police, are seeking your involvement

Here is an opportunity we, in Boise Police, are seeking your involvement:
 
1st ever Boise Police Service Week:
 
During the month of May, 2010, Boise City will proclaim “Police Service Week” the week of May 10th. Boise Police week coincides with two other important law enforcement events:  National Police Week in Washington DC, and locally, the Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony (recognizing the service of officers who died in the line of duty).   The Boise Police Department is planning events to recognize and celebrate Police Week and we are seeking your participation.   
 
If you know of an officer who has helped you and your neighborhood with any type of problem, from an individual response or case to a long term project, we’d like you to take a few minutes and write a brief article about the situation and what the officer did. We know there are officers out there helping solve neighborhood problems every day and we’re looking for a way to recognize and encourage neighborhood problem solving. With your help, we will honor these officers on behalf of your neighborhood at an event at Boise City Hall the week of May 10 – 14.  We’ll let you know when a time and date are set for the City Hall event if you would like to attend.
 
If you decide to write an article, please send it to me by April 20.
 
Thanks, in advance for helping recognize and honor those officers who work quietly but diligently to keep our Boise neighborhood’s safe, clean, and a wonderful place to live.
 
Thank you,

I hope some of you can attend some of the events.  I just noticed the RSVP request for some of the events.  I am sorry for the late notice.  I hope some of the rest of you can visit the website to read about the events, and maybe get ideas for our neighborhood association to use in the future.
