NEIGHBORHOOD  IMPROVEMENTS UPDATE:

Camelot Village Entry Renovation

At our yearly neighborhood meeting, many residents expressed concern over the current state of the Camelot Village main entry on Kenwood.  A committee of 14 volunteers was formed to review options and obtain quotes to spruce up and contemporize our neighborhood entry.  Quotes have been received and we are attempting to move forward with the project.

We will be using funds from the Camelot Village treasury, but will need additional money to complete the project.

Beginning Saturday June 19th, one of you neighbors will be knocking on your door asking if you would like to contribute to the project fund.

Thank you in advance for your interest and support to making the entry to out community something we call all be proud of!!  For further information, please contact Sid Frede.

NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY TIPS:

If you notice something that just doesn't "look right" in our neighborhood, there's a good chance it's not!  Please report any suspicious, non-emergency issue to the Tempe Police Non-Emergency number at 480-350-8311.  In the event of an emergency, always call 911.

• Do you leave your garage door open at times?  Please be aware that there are persons who will enter your open garage and help themselves to anything they can carry off--including your garage door opener from your vehicle--so please keep those garage doors closed when ever you are not in front of your home.

• Are your backyard fences unlocked?  Burglaries in our area are frequently due to easy access from unlocked or unsecured gates off of alleys and in times of day when you are not home.  Buy a lock or a metal securing latch (available at any hardware store).  This applies to your windows, too.  Criminals tend to be lazy by nature so any form of deterrence makes your home and belongings less likely of becoming a target.   

• We want to let you know that you can find out if our neighborhood has sex offenders living in our area.   www.azsexoffender.com

RECYCLING IMPROVEMENTS IN TEMPE

The city of Tempe recently has added new items to its recycling list. New additions include beer and soda carriers, foil food containers and boxes for bar soap, detergent and cereal. The city’s recycling program diverts more than 15,000 tons of material from landfills each year and is celebrating its 15^th anniversary this month. When you recycle, you are not only helping the environment, but you are also helping your city save money. Material brought to landfills costs the city money to dispose of while recycled items are sold to generate revenue. Tempe is working on programs to recycle plastic grocery bags which currently cannot be placed in the recycling bins. A program to recycle rigid plastics such as toys and storage bins is also in the works. For more information on these programs and a complete list of acceptable items to place in the blue bins, visit http://www.tempe.gov/recycling.
