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

Hello, Eagle Nesters! The Board hopes your spring is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe with all the cold, rainy weather of April that the Pool will be open in barely a month. In preparation for that, it’s time to share a few updates about the 2024 swim season: Nearly a dozen residents turn out to deep clean the Pool A huge thanks goes out to the volunteer team led by Bittern Lane residents John and Cindy Spicklemire for organizing a deep clean of Pool facility on Saturday, April 27. The team of 12 spent hours power washing the chairs to address years of sunblock stains and removing wall grime, while others pulled weeds, cleaned the tables and swept up debris. In return, the Board brought in Jimmy John’s sandwiches, chips and water to keep our cleaning crew fueled up. That was a small price to pay for what would have cost thousands of dollars in labor and time to hire a contractor to do the same work. Be sure to give these neighbors a hearty thanks for their cleanup efforts: J...

Memorial Day is coming – and that means Pool season is upon us! We have lots to tell about our opening plans, so here goes: Pool opening: Noon to 8 p.m., Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. Due to scheduling issues with our pool company, it was a scramble to get the facility power washed, cleaned and filled, so the water may be a little cold. Fingers crossed the rain holds off. Pool Party: Noon to 2 p.m. Memorial Day. Free hotdogs, chips, popsicles, lemonade, and beer for the adults. Weather: Given the rainy weather forecast for Monday, watch the blog and Facebook page for updates on postponements or closures. New Pool fobs: All residents in good standing can pick up their new Pool fobs from noon to 8 p.m. Monday. Board members will be set up on the concrete pad outside the gate.

This week, all residents were mailed a Q&A docum...
