Month: June 2018
Just so you know….
Neighbors,
I received this information from the City of Oklahoma and wanted to pass this on to you. Please do not set off any fireworks in the neighborhood.
You will find several public displays listed below, but it is against the law to set these off on private property.
Also please do not take your pets to public displays. It hurts their ears and scares them. Several pets are lost each year by taking them to a public display as they try to run to hid.
Have a safe holiday!

Heat & Sun Safety

Your Harvest Hills South Neighborhood Association contacted The City of Oklahoma City with the concern that several of our streets were very dark.
The City completed an analysis of our neighborhood and determined that we needed eight more street lights!
Well as of this last week, we are happy to report OG&E has been in the neighborhood marking off the areas where the lights will be installed! We should be seeing more activity in the coming weeks.
Pretty soon, we will be lighting up the neighborhood.
Please welcome your block captains this week as they come by for the membership drive. Remember it is only $30.00 a year and we could really use your support. We have started some great things and want you to be a part of them. Please join us and help recruit other new members to join!

REMINDER SCHOOL’S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!
The schools are out for the summer and the children are playing outside. (I know hard to believe and that they may be still on their phones or games, but they are outside!)
Slow down and watch out for them. The speed limit in the neighborhood is 25mph, although we have seen several people who seem to be in a hurry racing through the neighborhood.
Please slow down……

Goodbye “Little Blue”
The city has officially retired its “Little Blue” recycling bin. The new green large-cart recycling program will start in early July. That means for the month of June there is no recycling pick up.
Some options for recycling in June:
-Take materials to Waste Management Materials Recovery Facility, 5519 NW 4th
– Place clean recyclables in your green cart to be picked up in July when the new program begins.
As for “Little Blue”, the city is encouraging residents to keep it & re-purpose it into something useful. Some ideas would be to use it as a raised bed planter as it already has drainage holes, check with the Central OK Humane Society & see if they could use some more, storage bin, craft container, laundry basket, or I’ve seen the city recommend using it a water balloon holder! If you’re not interested in re-purposing it you could always see if a neighbor wants it or simply put it in your large green cart for the city to pick up.
