HELP US MEET OUR GOAL OF 75%
RECYCLING DIVERSION |
|
 The
Environmental Service
Division, along with franchise hauler
Waste Management,
want to increase recycling diversion rates within the
City. Recycling conserves our valuable natural
resources, saves energy, and keeps our air and water
clean. The more trash our City produces, the greater we
depend on existing urban landfills. Landfills produce
carbon dioxide and methane, the two main greenhouse
gases. By recycling, we can help secure our future,
reduce the amount of waste that litters our environment,
help keep Calabasas clean, and protect wildlife. By the
end of 2012, we are striving to meet our established
goal of 75% recycling diversion citywide. We appreciate
your cooperation in meeting this aggressive recycling
goal. Please read the recycling information listed below
for both residential and commercial customers.
-
Residential solid waste
collection rates are based on the size of your trash
cart. Consider switching to “super recycler” service
with a 32 gallon trash and 96 gallon recycling and
green waste cart. This is a very affordable service
that promotes higher recycling rates. To switch
services, please call Marilyn Gallagher at (805)
955-4242.
-
Commercial customers can add
additional recycle and/or green waste bins free of
charge by calling Marilyn Gallagher at (805)
955-4342.
-
Both residential and
commercial customers can participate in food waste
recycling. This is a free service that can increase
recycling diversion rates. Food waste can be put
into green waste containers and bins. Residential
customers can request a free food waste pail from
Waste Management free of charge. For more
information regarding food waste recycling please
call Marilyn Gallagher at (805) 955-4342.
-
Free Electronic Waste
Round-Ups are held the first Saturday of each month,
at the Albertsons Shopping Center from
10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.,
and the third Saturday of each month at the Von’s
Shopping Center from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. For more information
please call Daniel Pankau at (818) 224-1682.
-
Free Used Oil and Water Based
Paint Round-Ups are held the second Saturday of odd
numbered months at City Hall from
10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. For more
information please call Daniel Pankau at (818)

FREE ACTIVITIES FOR PEOPLE
WITH MEMORY LOSS |
|
Silverado Senior
Living, the Calabasas community for people with
memory-impairing diseases, is hosting two separate, free
activities especially for individuals challenged by memory
loss.
 Therapy That's Music to Our Ears
is an ongoing, weekly afternoon series of singing and
free lunch to promote the benefits of music and community
engagement for those with memory loss. Studies show that music has the power to soothe and
stimulate listeners of all ages — especially individuals
with memory loss. This program is held every Wednesday,
with lunch at 1:00 p.m., followed by a community sing-along
at 2:00 p.m.
 Tuesdays
and Thursdays at 11:00 a.m., Silverado Senior Living hosts
Splish Splash, a free water aerobics class, followed by
a complimentary lunch at noon. Studies show that regular
exercise, including low-impact workouts, is still the best
approach to treating the symptoms of physical decline
associated with memory loss. In addition, engagement
programs like water aerobics allow residents to explore new
interests and enhance social skills while living with
memory-impairment.
Silverado is located at 25100
Calabasas Road. Individuals interested in either series are
highly encouraged to RSVP by calling (818) 600-2431 or
emailing
Calabasas@silveradosenior.com. For additional

HISTORIC PLACE OF THE MONTH |
|
 The
City of Calabasas Planning Division invites
residents to take part in a monthly game to guess the
historic Calabasas landmark depicted as the
Calabasas Historic Place of the Month. Each month, a
new photo will be posted on the Calabasas website
depicting just a small portion of the Historic Place of
the Month. Using only the image given and their
knowledge of the City, residents are encouraged to
submit their guesses via email. At the end of the month,
an answer will be posted online detailing what is shown
in the image and the historical importance of the
location. Each month, another new image will be posted
which highlights the diverse and largely unknown history
of the Calabasas area.
The June Historic Place of the Month was
the De Anza Trail. Was that your guess? Visit
