Caroling at Angels Cove

Several years ago WIA was introduced to the wonderful folks at Angel's Cove, a private nursing

home in our area, which houses approximately 15 men & women. Since then, a small group of

us try to go each Christmas to sing carols, bring gifts, have some refreshments & visit with theawesome folks who live there & who care for these people. They truly look forward to our visit.

Below are two pictures from this years visit!

The Department of Public Works reminds citizens to recycle gift wrapping paper and Christmas trees.

Christmas Tree Pickup and Mulching

DPW will provide Christmas tree mulching Monday through Saturday during the entire month of January

2012, beginning January 3rd.

Mulching services will be offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Reedbird Avenue Citizen Drop-off

Center, 701 Reedbird Avenue. Residents may bring their own bags or containers if they wish to collect

mulch for their own use. Community groups are also encouraged to bring bags or containers and collect

free mulch for neighborhood gardens while supplies last.

For residents who cannot bring their trees for mulching, the Bureau of Solid Waste will offer curbside tree

collection from Tuesday, January 3, 2012 through Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Residents should set

out trees on their regularly scheduled trash collection day at the same location where their trash is

collected. All tinsel and ornaments must be removed from trees before they are set out for curbside

collection or mulching.

colored paper. You can also recycle cardboard packaging and boxes as well as any unwanted holiday

cards and envelopes. We do not recycle ribbons or foil. Styrofoam material can ONLY be recycled at the
