Holiday electronics recycling event Jan. 12

The holidays mean gifts -- and for many that means electronics. That usually also means "out with the old, in with the new."

But a new state law prohibits disposal of electronics at the curbside, forcing residents to seek other ways to get rid of their old TVs, computer equipment, stereos, phones, DVD players, etc.

On Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, the City of Indianapolis will partner with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to sponsor the 7th Annual Post Holiday Recycling Event. Drop-off is free.

The following materials are accepted for recycling:
> Live holiday trees: all lights, ornaments and decorations removed
> Electronics: anything with a cord
> Cardboard
> White molded foam packaging

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the following sites:
> Broad Ripple Park - Main entrance
> Ellenberger Park - Irvington, pool parking lot
> Krannert Park - 605 S. High School Road
> Garfield Park - Arts Center parking lot

Questions? Contact Noelle Malatestinic, Mayor Ballard's neighborhood liaison for Eagle Nest, at 317.408.1991 or Noelle.Malatestinic@indy.gov

Board Update: Curb Appeal Award winners, inaugural Card Night on Oct. 10, live music Oct. 21 at Clubhouse!

The Board hopes everyone’s fall season is off to a great start. October is shaping up to be a busy month in Eagle Nest – read on! 2023 Curb Appeal Awards winners announced! The Board is proud to recognize the following lots as winners of our 2023 Curb Appeal Awards, presented to Eagle Nest owners for their outstanding lot and house maintenance. First place (tied): 8031 Teel Way , above left, (Lot 52, Clayton Napier) and 8111 Warbler Way , above right (Lot 229, Todd and Rokeena Williams).  Both homes underwent extensive exterior renovations in recent years, including new roofing, new siding, new paint, wood repair, landscaping and more (all pre-approved by the Rules and Restrictions Committee, by the way). The owners could have saved considerable money by moving to a newer home in another neighborhood, but they chose to stay and invest in their properties. Clearly, the time and effort paid off, as both lots are shining examples of how to bring out the best in a property. Projects like t

Board Update, 05-22-23: Pool opening, tags in mail; annual Garage Sale; dues deadline June 1; Annual Meeting and Board Election June 15

Image
Summer unofficially begins Memorial Day weekend, and that means our Pool facility will be opening for the season. Our main and wading pools have been power-washed and filled, and our guard team will be working to balance the chemicals this week. Weather permitting, we are targeting noon Sunday for opening, but watch the Eagle Nest blog and our Facebook page for the official day and time. For 2023, hours of operation will be noon to 8 p.m. daily. We have a great lifeguard team in place again this year. Their No. 1 charge? Safety. When it comes to rules, what our guard staff says goes. No exceptions. Violators will be ejected and referred to the Board for further action. Bottomline: This is a family-oriented neighborhood facility, not a public pool playhouse, and want to keep it enjoyable for all. If you paid your dues by May 12, watch U.S. mail this week for your pool tags and a copy of the rules. If you paid after that, your tags may be delayed as we process those who paid on time firs

Board update: Pool closing Labor Day, annual dog swim, Curb Appeal Awards, live music coming to Clubhouse!

Pool closes Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4  All good things come to and end, as the saying goes, and that includes our 2023 Pool season. Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4, is the last day of operation for our facility, with hours from noon to 8 p.m. It’s been a great summer of swimming, despite a few mechanical and staffing issues, so please be sure to thank Pool Manager Samantha Burns and her lifeguard staff for a job well done. For the most part, our facility was staffed and open daily the entire summer, unlike many of the city’s public pools – including nearby Sahm Park. We hope to see all our guards back next year, but if you know someone interested in joining the Eagle Nest Pool staff, please contact Samantha. In the meantime, enjoy these last days of swimming! Third Annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim on Sept. 4 Calling all Eagle Nest dog owners: Bring your furry friend to the Pool at 8:01 p.m. Monday, Sept. 4, for our third annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim. Residents are welcome to bring their pets (no
