The City of San Gabriel, in partnership with Athens Services, will be hosting its first citywide Neighborhood Clean-up event on Saturday, Apr. 8 from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. The free effort will be held at the new Public Works Facility at 917 E Grand Avenue, just east of the San Gabriel Humane Society.
During the event, bulky items and electronic waste (e-waste) will be collected. All San Gabriel residents are encouraged to bring their items for proper (FREE) disposal. Public Works Department staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist residents by removing their items from their vehicles and disposing of them into large containers provided by Athens Services.
No household hazardous waste will be accepted at this event.
By the end of the day, Public Works staff hopes to collect trash that should not be left on our streets, all of which will be recycled or disposed of to the fullest extent practicable in support of the City's state mandated waste diversion goals.
Don't forget, it is easy to keep our City clean, just call Athens Services at 888.336.6100 and they will pick up your couch, TV, mattress or other large items for free. Don't trash SG! Tweet us at #DontTrashSG.
For questions regarding the Apr. 8 collection event, contact the Public Works Department at 626.308.2825.

Canine distemper makes appearance in local area
|
|
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has determined that a local raccoon submitted for testing and was infected with the Canine Distemper virus. San Gabriel Valley Humane Society has handled several dead or diseased raccoons over the past two weeks and suspects these too were infected with the virus. While they have not seen the disease in coyotes or skunks, they too can become infected.
This disease is highly contagious to dogs and puppies. Distemper is often fatal.
The good news is that Distemper is preventable in dogs and puppies with a simple vaccination.
San Gabriel Valley Humane Society's low cost vaccination clinic also offers the vaccination to the public. Our clinic hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 2-4 p.m. No appointment is necessary.

Steven J. Salazar's ecology suite, take a thought stirring musical journey
|
|
In 1973, Steven J. Salazar, a composer and member of punk rock band,
The Skabbs, performed his first concert at the Mission Playhouse. Forty four years later, his family presents his composition,
Steven J. Salazar's Ecology Suite, at the Playhouse on Thursday, Apr. 6 at 7:30 p.m.
Penned in 1975, it has been transcribed and arranged as a symphonic rock performance by producer Mark Ludmer and Tommy Mars, the keyboardist for Frank Zappa. The piece combines "classical and progressive rock elements, with dashes of jazz and pop," taking the audience on a musical journey, "inspiring the listener while questioning the fate of the earth and mankind itself."
