Join Us at Movies on Main!

On Friday, October 14 we’ll be joining the creepy and kooky Movies on Main event featuring the Addams Family 2! Bring your costumes, creativity, and questions to our table where we’ll have a spooky upcycled kids craft and useful treats like moisture meters, hose nozzles, and other environmental tools and resources. Pre-show activities start at 5:30pm and the movie will begin at 7:15pm in Heritage Plaza at Main & Second Streets.

Safely Disposing of Medicine Just got Easier

With the recent passing of SB 212, a new and FREE mail-back program to dispose of expired medicines, inhalers, injectors, or sharps is now available through MED-Project! All you have to do is fill out an online form to request a pre-paid, pre-addressed mail-back package and it will be delivered to your home.

If you prefer to drop them off in-store, many pharmacies are setting up take back programs. Visit med-project.org and search your zip code for more information.

Imagine a Day With(out) Water

Imagine a Day With(~~out~~) Water is dedicated to raise awareness and educate others about the value of water. During the drought, its important to conserve water where we can and use it efficiently. Here are three things you can do to conserve water this fall:

As temperatures drop, our landscape doesn't need as much water. Remember to reduce your run times and not to irrigate more than 3 days per week.
Rinse fruits and vegetables in a bowl of water instead of letting the water run down the drain. The water collected can later be used to water plants around the home.
Use WaterSense labeled products when changing out your water devices such as toilets and showerheads. WaterSense labeled products are certified to be at least 20 percent more efficient without sacrificing performance.
