This April, Green Starts Here, our Dump-It-Right for Earth Day event will give residents a free opportunity to get rid of items that normally require a disposal fee. All clothing will be donated to the Atlanta Alliance on Developmental Disabilities (AADD), a non-profit organization. Cartridge World, a local print supply recycling company, will be on site to collect ink and laser print cartridges. Blue Rhino, the nation’s leading tank exchange company, will also collect empty propane tanks.

Got tires? Keep DeKalb Beautiful will also be accepting used tires during “Dump it Right Day.” Keep DeKalb Beautiful is focused on increasing recycling efforts of tires, which will preserve natural resources. Individuals are limited to10 tires per car load. Off-road tires will not be accepted.

Additional items collected will include scrap metal, and “junk” that are typically illegally dumped.

EXAMPLES OF “UNWANTED” ITEMS ACCEPTED:

Appliances Gently Used Clothing
Ink and Laser Print Cartridges Scrap Metal
Furniture Gardening Equipment
Mattresses Propane Tanks (must be empty)

We will not be accepting electronics, home building and/or construction materials, landscaping materials, household hazardous waste such as paint, batteries, pesticides, and used motor oil.

Title: LLCC Adopt-a-Highway Program Changes Focus for April
Description: The Lindbergh LaVista Corridor Coalition will be participating in the national "Great American Clean-Up" this year with an organized effort to pick up trash along Cheshire Bridge Road.

Whether you love or hate this eclectic part of our city, the storefronts could definitely use some TLC from our residents.

I wanted to make you aware that we are doing our first annual membership drive this spring. Throughout the last few years we have had many people join the Woodland Hills Neighborhood Association. However, in order to make this association what it can be, we need more members and for our existing members to renew their membership.
The membership drive will run during April and May, culminating in a Neighborhood BBQ on Saturday May 16th. One of the main goals of our association is to become more of a community. Read More

Recap of Safety Meeting

Jesse Thompson

By WHNA president, Brad Grulke

On March 23rd Commissioner Rader's office organized a public safety meeting to address concerns over increasing crime in the Briarcliff/LaVista area. Representatives from the Dekalb County police assured those attended that despite the recent jogger attack violent crime in the area has decreased 21% and property crime has decreased 15% according to their statistics. Because investigation into the March 17th attack is on going, police were able to offer few details. They are treating the incident as if it were a random act. Read More
