Lakewood Heights One Day will be Monday

by Admin

You may have received a fancy, bilingual door hanger telling you that in March, the City of Dallas would be collecting your trash once a week. It looks like MONDAY is the day sanitation department will pick up both your trash and recycling. If you’ve just discovered recycling or have questions, visit Green Dallas.

Bye-bye convenient 2X weekly collection of trash. Hello 1 stop each week. However, we’re told you will save $0.64 a month on your sanitation services bill because of this. Don’t hold us to it.

Questions about once a week pickup? Visit www.onedaydallas.com or call 311.

Bulk trash collection will still be 1X month. Lakewood Heights is on the WEEK 3 schedule. As a reminder, place bulk trash behind your curbline from 7 a.m. on the Thursday before your collection week through 7 a.m. Monday of your collection week. Ignore these rules and face a code enforcement fine of up to $2000. Ouch!

Bulk trash = large limbs, shrubs, bagged leaves (in sealed 50 gallon or smaller bags), furniture, appliances, mattresses/box springs. Separate your yard waste from other trash.

Most snow ever in Lakewood Heights

by Admin

Early in the morning on Thursday, February 11, 2010, snow started falling on Lakewood Heights and didn’t stop for 24 hours. The storm produced record snowfall, the most snow in over a century (actually, the most snow ever, since folks started keeping track of the weather records). 12.5 inches at D/FW Airport beat the record for the most snowfall ever in a 24-hour period.

Along with the snow came broken branches, falling trees and power outages. Many Lakewood Heights residents were without power and several businesses, including the Lakewood Whole Foods were closed due to lack of electricity.
