Very soon our foliage will be turning the glorious colors of autumn ~ burnished reds, golds and yellows.
And along with that comes FALL! Leaf fall!
Have no fears! The City of Salisbury works to help us keep our neighborhoods beautiful through the season with scheduled leaf pick up!
From this map, it looks as if most of NOMA is in Area II. But if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Public Service folks at (704) 638-5260.
Next week is also the annual Fall Spruce Up!
If we take a bit of time this week and weekend to get our bulky stuff we'd like to get rid of to the curb, the City will pick this stuff up on our normal garbage collection day, which for most of us in the North Main Neighborhood is Tuesday morning, October 22nd.
Note there are some restrictions, such as computers, TVs, carpet, and building materials. Our experience has taught us, however, that the City is most helpful and willing to assist us in getting these things out of our way. Just phone the City Public Services department at (704) 638-5260 in advance and they are likely to help you make arrangements to pick up or dispose of restricted items.
And speaking of cleaning up neighborhoods, Saturday October 24th is the annual BLOCKWORK project!
Volunteers by the hundreds are expected to swoop into the 800/900 block of S. Jackson Street in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood to pitch in and help clean, scrape, paint, weed, plant, and repair... neighbors helping neighbors, one block at a time! If you even have just an hour to spare, come join the fun!
BLOCKWORK, a grass-roots program developed in 2010 by the Community Appearance Commission's Neighborhood Leaders Alliance (NLA), strives to bring residents and community volunteers together to build cleaner and safer neighborhoods, one block at a time. Working together with property owners, residents, city staff and other support groups, participants help neighborhoods establish a proactive approach with stewardship of housing resources. The design and implementation of the BLOCKWORK program is focused on community-wide participation in neighborhood improvement.
The City of Salisbury's BLOCKWORK has been nationally recognized and is a GREAT way to give back to the community! It is held each October on 'National Make a Difference Day!'
We're pretty happy about Fall in NOMA! How about you?
