Leaf Season and the Claw!

Posted by on Nov 23, 2014 in East Sac, Sacramento | 0 comments

Here is an update about when the claw will be coming to your block to pick up leaves out of the street As per the City of Sacramento Office of Media & Communication: Leaf Season Update: Since November 1, crews have completed two full leaf collection rotations throughout the entire city in two weeks, and we started our third rotation this week. Crews are reporting heavier leaf drop, and larger piles. It can take crews ten days to two weeks between leaf collections during these heavy weeks. Check the Service Day Finder often as we update our collection estimates daily and your date may change. To make our estimates we factor in how many crews we have and how many zones we are clearing in a day. The biggest variable is Mother Nature. There is no way to predict how many piles we will encounter in any one zone. Also the heavy leaf drop is starting later this year than last year. Lots of residents are using their yard waste containers which we continue to collect weekly. This is proving to be a great help in getting more material off the street. Our crews will be working on Thanksgiving. I checked the Service Day Finder and sure enough, it had the correct day that the claw would be seen on my block…...

Run to Feed the Hungry 2014

Run to Feed the Hungry 2014

Posted by on Nov 20, 2014 in East Sac, Events, Run to Feed the Hungry | 0 comments

When it first began in 1994, the Run to Feed the Hungry had 796 participants. This Thanksgiving Day, nearly 30,000 people are expected to attend. Such numbers have made the Run to Feed the Hungry not only the largest fun run in Sacramento, but the largest fun run in the entire US. Rain or shine, both the 10K run and 5K run/walk will begin Thursday morning just outside the entrance of Sacramento State. (Just keep an eye out for the huge inflatable turkey.) From there, the routes will go along some of the loveliest tree-lined streets in East Sac. All net proceeds from the run go to support Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, which provides numerous services throughout the year—food, clothing, shelter, job placement, etc.—to the disadvantaged in our area. To register, double check the route and find any other information on the run, go to www.runtofeedthehungry.com.   If you live on the actual route of the run, you have special trash instructions for Thanksgiving day. As per the City of Sacramento Office of Media & Communication:   Garbage service alert postcards are being sent to all 600 homes on the 5K and 10K route for the 2014 Run To Feed The Hungry. We are asking customers on the route to put their containers out the night before Thanksgiving or by 5 a.m Thanksgiving morning. Thursday November 27th. The Recycling and Solid Waste Division will begin collection at 5 a.m. so the City can service properties on the race route before the streets are closed. This service alert is only for the 600 homes on the route. If there are any questions, please contact the Recycling & Solid Waste Division at...
