Interested in saving your trashcan from your pumpkin & your pumpkin from the landfill? If so read on…

Our Curbside Composting Company, Break It Down, has offered to provide 2 barrels within Milwood and Walnut Crossing for anyone that wants to drop off their pumpkins for compost to save them from the landfill! So if you don’t have a compost heap, neighbor with chickens, and want to save your trashcan from your pumpkin…

The barrels will be available for pumpkins to deposit until Monday, Nov 7. Please NO METAL or PLASTIC of any kind. Wax and Water Based Paints are OK!

Barrel Locations are:
4606 Adelphi (near Wycliff/Adelphi intersection, the house with the very big lot)
12006 Scribe (3rd house in from Amherst opposite the park side).

Please note that if you already have a neighbor getting the Curbside Composting Pick-up from Break It Down (which you can tell if you see a Black 10 gal Bucket on their curb every Tuesday) then you could just ask them if you can add your pumpkin next to their bin before Pick-Up on Tuesday, so no need to deliver them to a barrel as long as they are mostly intact. More details on composting at your curb.

We are in need of volunteers to help us make a BIG impact within our little community!

Council Member Pool has generously offered to help us improve our neighborhood by facilitating a Mobility Work Group & a Neighborhood Planning Committee for Milwood in the near future… so now we just need volunteers to help establish the committees and gather the feedback / divide the work load.

1. Mobility Work Group to address Traffic Concerns present and future to include such concerns as cut through traffic, Dorsett/Railroad, Adelphi/Waters Park, Crosswalk into Balcones Park, Amherst/Duval Intersection, Turn Lane onto Adelphi from East bound Parmer and others. Volunteer or Sign up to Learn More HERE.

2. Neighborhood Planning Committee to get Milwood in the cue and to create a neighborhood plan which could be so beneficial to have on record with the City as it allows us to take a proactive role in the planning process and decide how our neighborhood will move into the future by establishing our desires on land code within and surrounding our neighborhood. Volunteer or Sign up to Learn More HERE.
