Your Halloween pumpkins could feed capybaras at @PhoenixHerp! Drop pumpkins off with @KPB_AZ on Sunday, Nov. 1 at Mountain View Park from 9 am to noon. They’ll either be composted or used for animal feed.🧡 No paint, glitter, or plastic, please!

Redoing your kitchen? Instead of demolishing those cabinets and counter tops, consider deconstructing and donating reusable building materials to Stardust Building Supplies, one of our Zero Waste Businesses. LEARN MORE: bit.ly/4bExmyo stardustbuilding.org/

We're not sure how the game ended, but we do know one thing: basketballs don't belong in your recycling bin. 🏀 If it's still in good condition, give it another shot by donating it. Not sure what belongs in your recycling bin? Ask Zero: Phoenix.gov/AskZero 🔗♻️

Go digital on your City Services Bill! If everyone went digital, we could keep 8 tons of paper out of the landfill or recycle stream every month. Paperless billing would also save 3 million gallons of water every month. Make the switch at Phoenix.gov/Portal @PHXWater

25 years ago, the world changed forever. Tonight, we set the City Hall lights to pay tribute to the 2,977 victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. We will never forget.
