Support local business - recent incident at Circle K

On Saturday, July 20, an unknown perpetrator destroyed property at the Circle K on Speedway east of Country Club. We do not have many details, but encourage you to stay alert and cautious while out in public, and to support our local partner Circle K. They have been very supportive of recent PVNA events and are a valued member of our neighborhood.

Did you know...? Goats heads are back!!

All around our neighborhood quietly lurks the dastardly goat's head! Also known as puncture vine or Tribulus terristis, goat's heads quietly hug the ground and produce horrendous stickers that can pierce the soles of your shoes (or your dog's foot!) like a knife through butter. A single plant can cover a square foot of territory (or more!) and churn out hundreds of stickers.

The best way to foil their dastardly plan is by pulling each plant out by the roots and throwing it in the trash. Look for feathery leaves, small yellow flowers and of course, small poky stickers. For more information and better photos, see Goathead Warriors.

It's always a good time to pull goat's heads but right now they are starting to set seed. Please pull on your gardening gloves, yank goat's heads when you see them and throw them in the nearest trash can. Your neighbors and your toes will thank you!

Brush & Bulky is almost here!

Our neighborhood's next Brush & Bulky collection is the week of August 12, beginning on Monday morning. This is your opportunity to clean out your yard, garage or storage shed and get rid of unwanted debris.

Place your items where your trash or your neighborhood's trash is collected. Items must be at least 3 feet from all obstacles, including trash, recycling containers and utility meters. Set materials out by 6 a.m. on Monday, August 12. Collection will be completed by the end of the week.

Do not put materials out more than two weeks ahead of your scheduled collection. Keep materials out of the street.

The Brush & Bulky maximum is 10 cubic yards per household (1 cubic yard = ~ the size of a washing machine).

Brush & Bulky will collect:

Appliances (Remove freezer/refrigerator doors)
Auto tires (Limit 5 - Placed in separate pile)
Brush (Up to 5' Long/ 24"diameter)
Cacti (Boxed up for safety - 25 lbs. limit)
Furniture and carpet
Lumber (Up to 5' long - place in a separate pile)
Scrap metal and pipes (Up to 5' long)
