Starting in March 2010, Lakewood Heights residents will have all garbage and recycling collected on the same day – once a week. Other parts of Dallas are already in the One Day program. In addition to the obvious benefit of saving the City money, the program also is eco-friendly because it encourages (and actually increases!) recycling.

To help educate residents on the benefits of the new 1X weekly program, the City of Dallas has created a website (One Day Dallas) and plans to hold informational meetings throughout Dallas. Meetings closest to Lakewood Heights are scheduled as follows:

Monday, January 11, 2010 – 6:30 pm
St. Thomas Aquinas Church
6306 Kenwood

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 – 6:30 pm
Stonewall Jackson Elementary
5828 East Mockingbird Lane

Thursday, January 21, 2010 – 6:30 pm
Lakewood Branch Library
6121 Worth Street
