It’s My Park Day – March 2

Come join your neighbors for the annual “It’s My Park Day” park cleanup event at Scofield Farms Park, to be held on Saturday, March 2, from 9 am to 12 pm.  It’s My Park Day is a citywide park improvement event, made possible by the participation of volunteers like you and your family.  This year, the Scofield Farms Park Beautification Project will include trash pickup, moving mulch, removing limbs and brush from along trails, and clearing invasive plants like China Berry trees.  Snacks and water will be provided (bring your own drinking container, please).

The online signup sheet for the event is now available here.  The online signup has a section where you can include the number coming in your party as well as add the size of t-shirt that you want that will commemorate the event. 

On the morning of the event, we will meet at the picnic tables under the pavilion in the park where Visalia Lane intersects with Scofield Farms Drive.   If you have gloves, please bring them, otherwise some should be provided.   Tools will be provided as well.  However, if you have a wheelbarrow that can be used to move mulch, please bring it as the city does not have many available.

For more information contact Dan Frasier at [email protected].

Refrigerator Recycling From Austin Energy

Did you know that Austin Energy will pay you $50 for each old, standard-size (between 14- 27 cubic feet), working refrigerator or freezer?  Just call 1-800-452-8685 to arrange for a pickup. To date, Austin Energy has collected more than 24,000 of these energy guzzlers. Next to heating, cooling and hot water, refrigerators and freezers use more electricity than any other home appliance. Refrigerators that are at least 15 years old use about twice the electricity of today’s new energy-efficient models.  For more information, visit austinenergy.com.
