Use, Reuse, Recycle...Repeat!

The Earth is Worth it!

Here in Moreno Valley, we absolutely LOVE to reuse and recycle. And to prove how much we love it, we're also re-using the MoVal Now image above from January!

All kidding aside, the City of Moreno Valley supports environmental responsibility throughout the year. Here are some of the many great environmental programs Moreno Valley offers:

• We provide helpful services like free Bulky Item Pickups, Dump Days, and Household Waste Recycling collection events.

• Our Beautify MoVal Community Day of Service brings thousands of volunteers together to spruce up our parks.

• Our Community Demonstration Garden also offers free monthly workshops to provide residents with sustainable techniques to create the perfect home garden. 

Watch this brief video from the Mayor to learn about some of our City-wide conservation efforts.

A Stage and Screen That's Gotta Be Seen!

This week, we shine the spotlight on a City facility that actually has its own spotlights. And a stage. And MUCH, MUCH, MORE!

Officially opened in June of 2021, The Civic Center Amphitheater is the City's hub for special events such as the Multicultural and Art Festival, 4th of July Spectacular, MoVal Rocks, MoVal Movies, Snow Day, and more. 

The Civic Center Amphitheater also features a 600-seat outdoor venue with arched seating facing a raised stage platform and a state-of-the-art audio/visual system with a massive video wall for movie viewing and graphical displays.

Located at 14075 Frederick Street, the Amphitheater can also be rented by local businesses and residents looking for a safe, state-of-the-art outdoor facility to hold their special occasions.

Pet of the Week: Dillon

Our Pet of the Week is Dillon, a 6-year-old male Siberian Husky. As fluffy as they come, he's a walking teddy bear, with soft, plush white fur and a permanent smile from ear to ear. Dillon is calm and gentle, and always ready for a hug. He's even more ready to find his forever family!

If you would like to make Dillon or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter part of your family, please contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit www.moval.org/pets.
