RIO VISTA SECURITY ALERT!
 There is currently an
opportunistic vehicle burglar operating in Rio Vista. He seems to be looking
for unlocked cars during nighttime hours and taking whatever he finds of value
from the car. Most likely he is operating alone and on foot. Please be extra
vigilant to anyone walking around vehicles during nighttime hours and
immediately report them to either the Rio Vista Patrol 954-850-1100 or directly to the Fort
Lauderdale Police Department.
Perhaps most importantly, please remove
valuables and lock your
vehicles!

Steve Scelfo

Residential Yard Waste Program Continues!
Broward County Waste and
Recycling Services and Partner Cities will continue their popular residential
trash program through 2009. Yard waste, bulky waste and scrap metals for
recycling can be taken to three trash transfer stations at no charge to
residents.
Items will be accepted on Saturdays only, between 8 a.m. and

2780 N. Powerline Road
· Davie, 5490 Reese Road
· West Park, 5601 W.
Hallandale Beach Boulevard
The free disposal and recycling of debris
includes yard waste (tree trimmings, branches, palm fronds, tree trunks), woody
waste (fencing and lumber) and bulky waste (sofas, chairs, mattresses,
carpeting). Scrap metal items (appliances with refrigerant removed, barbecue
grills, bicycles, lawn equipment with fuels and oils removed) will also be
accepted for recycling, as long as they are kept separate from other items.
No debris brought in on commercial vehicles (or vehicles marked as
such), by private contractors or on trailers longer than eight feet will be
accepted.
This service is available to the residents of all Broward
County cities except Pembroke Pines, Parkland, Pompano Beach and Hallandale
Beach. A current driver's license/photo ID with a utility bill (water,
