3 P a g e 3 Volunteer Services ARBOR DAY T he City of Highland held a tree planting last Friday, April 28th in honor of National Arbor Day and Tree City USA. We would like to thank all those that came out to enjoy the morning with us as we planted a tree at Cunningham Park. Your support for the community of Highland is appreciated. The City of Highland has earned and been recognized as a Tree City USA for 26 years. Highland achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting program requirements. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. Trees are assets to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat, among the many other benefits. BIKE SAFETY COURSE IS A WRAP T hank you to all that came out on Saturday to participate in the Bicycle Safety Course and events. The City of Highland along with the Highland Police Department, hosted a bicycle safety course during the Highland YMCA Healthy Kids Day event. We also offered a helmet check, helmet giveaway and a healthy snack via the smoothie bike to the community! We are proud to announce that over 60 helmets were given away to children of all ages. Each child was fitted with the appropriate size of helmet and also received educational information about the correct and safe way to wear a helmet. Kids that chose to ride the bicycle safety course were given the rules of the road and of course everyone, parents included, enjoyed taking their turn on the smoothie bike courtesy of the San Bernardino County Public Health Department/Healthy Cities. Please contact Volunteer Services for more information about bike safety or Healthy Cities at extension 203.

5 P a g e 5 Refuse Collection Information Containers must be placed at the curb for service by 5:30am the day of collection to ensure service. Between collection days residents are encouraged to store carts on your property, either in garages or behind fences. Stormwater Pollution Street Sweeping The street sweeper in residential areas can sweep anytime from 7am to 5pm, the day after your trash day. If trash pickup is delayed one day due to a holiday, the street sweeper will be delayed one day as well. Residents are encouraged to move parked vehicles from the street on sweeping day, to ensure clean streets for Highland. Anything thrown, swept or poured into the gutter or catch basin can flow directly into our creeks and eventually the ocean. This includes pollutants like trash, pet waste, cigarette butts, motor oil, anti-freeze, pesticides and fertilizers, paint from brushes, containers rinsed in the gutter and toxic household chemicals. Unlike sewage, which goes to a treatment plants, stormwater pollution flows untreated through the storm drain system. Contaminated runoff pollutes our drinking water and waterways, making them unsafe for people and wildlife. Remember, only rain down the storm drain!
