RECYCLE YOUR SMOKE ALARM
It is important residents regularly check and test the smoke detectors in their homes to ensure they are in full operation, which literally could save their lives. But many residents many not realize that when they do need to replace a smoke detector, that they can actually recycle it and prevent toxins from ending up in a landfill, using our Household Hazardous Wasfe Facility.

Wise Plants
Desert willow is a fast-growing tree reaching up to 25 feet with spectacular trumpet –shaped flowers and glossy green, willow-like foliage. Chilopsis linearis is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, and is commonly seen in dry washes from 1500 to 5000 feet. The fragrant orchid-like flowers in varying colors attract hummingbirds. Desert willow blooms in clusters from May through October. In winter, this tree is deciduous which reveals its interesting branch structure.
