Homeowners: Board of Directors ballots are due this Saturday in our post office box!

These carts are similar to the garbage carts and will replace the current bin system. The carts will only be delivered to addresses that request one. Delivery of the carts hasn't happened in Historic Southwood Park yet, so be in the first wave of deliveries by signing up now. Once the carts are delivered to the neighborhood, the bins will no longer be accepted.Call 311 or visit http://cityoffortwayne.org/publicworks/solid-waste-management/one-cart-recycling-program.html to sign up.Also approaching is the end of Christmas tree recycling at Foster Park West.
