Building Community - Neighbors helping neighbors
Our next monthly Rosewood Community Meeting is around the corner, join us for a conversation about safety in our community: Wednesday, January 18th at 1pm at Rosewood Cafe- 609 SE 162nd Ave (just south of Stark next to Sam's Restaurant)
In the recent past, this community meeting has covered a variety of topics, but we see the need to bring this back to a focused conversation on public safety in our area. We will give brief updates on our progress with the Rosewood space and our partnership with Portland Development Commission on economic development, but the majority of this meeting will focus on how we can continue making the Rosewood neighborhood a safe place for everyone to live, work and play.
We need your perspective to make this a positive and productive conversation. Hope to see you there!
Learn the Do's and Dont's of Holiday Recycling, Plus...
Ways to Recycle Your Tree (Including curbside for free!)
With the holiday's upon us, here's a few tips for proper disposal of unwanted wrapping paper, wreaths and trees.
Holiday Recycling Questions
Can glossy holiday gift bags go in the blue cart? Paper gift bags can be recycled. Tip: Usually if you can tear the paper fairly easily it will pulp up at the paper mill. Gift bags can be reused or donated to charity.
Can cellophane or foil wrapping paper go in the blue cart? Non-paper wrapping material should not go in the blue roll carts. Most “foil-like” paper is metallic ink on paper and is accepted with recycling.
Can present ribbons be recycled in the blue cart? Non-paper ribbons are not accepted (very few ribbons are paper-based).
