The Plastics Recycling program is changing. 

The “hard to recycle” plastics program is transitioning from a pilot to a permanent program.  Wyoming-based Byfusion plans to build a plant in Tucson which is scheduled to be in operation by summer 2025.  In the meantime, the Hefty ReNew program and Byfusion are working with the City of Tucson to continue to collect plastics at the five drop-off locations with the orange dumpsters.

Do NOT put the “Hard to Recycle” plastics into the blue bins (though the City is working on this happening in the future.).  The “Hard to Recycle” plastic needs to be transported to one of the City drop off locations with orange recycling dumpsters.

The City would like to encourage you to continue to recycle #1, 2, and 5 plastic in your blue bin. The City does make money from these plastics. Here is a video illustrating which are the plastics you can recycle in the blue bin.

For now, the “Hard to Recycle” plastics should be bagged in orange Hefty ReNew recycling bags OR a clear plastic bag. They prefer you not use opaque bags like dogfood or catfood bags to hold your plastic. There has been a large problem with contamination and non-plastic items and food waste being placed in bags in the dumpsters. Hefty ReNew is offering a sample starter kit.

Drop Off Locations

• Ward 2 Office, 7820 E. Broadway
• Ward 4 Office, 8123 E. Poinciana Drive
• Ward 5 Office, 4300 S Park Ave
• Ward 6 Office, 3202 E. 1st Street
• Fire Station 15, 1925 S. San Antonio Drive

Blue Bin regulations:

• No plastic grocery bags or film (find out why).
• No glass (instead take glass bottles and jars to glass drop-off site).
• No garbage or food waste. Food containers can be lightly rinsed to recycle, but just throw it out if it's very dirty!
• Items should be larger than a tennis ball 
• Leave labels on containers.
• Bottle and jar caps and lids should be left on the container.
• All recyclables go loose into the blue barrel, together - - no sorting! Please put them in individually, not inside a box or bag.
• Do not flatten cans and bottles to ensure sorting equipment works properly
• Cut or flatten corrugated cardboard boxes to fit in container. Remove plastic wrapping and liners.

SPRING IS HERE!

Everyone agrees: the weather has been glorious, with warm days, cool nights, and blue sky with clouds!

Resilient neighborhoods are safer,

more cohesive, and happier!

To honor these moments, let us now prepare for the heat of summer. May 1-5 is Heat Awareness Week in Arizona. We all can do something to put our awareness into action:

• Prepare your household. You can view a guide on the Sam Hughes website, with a 2-pg printable pdf: HOUSEHOLD CHECKLIST. 

• Spread the word. You can become a Block Connector – going to nearby neighbors to share the Checklist. Choose either of these dates for a mini-training online: 
• Tue May 7th, 4-5 pm
• Thu May 9th, 7-8 pm
• REGISTER HERE for the link

At this orientation, you will learn how to become a Block Connector – a person who reaches out to neighbors in their own block of households – whether the block is your own street, your apartment complex, or your section of a trailer park. The job is simple and straightforward, and takes only a few hours to accomplish on your own schedule. 

BaRN (Building a Resilient Neighborhood) is a workgroup of the Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association, and now includes members and leaders in other neighborhoods. Contact:

For a quick overview of our need for heat preparation, here’s a brief video prepared last year by the National Weather Service, before the hottest summer on record: 

The Little Free Plant Stand at 1421 N. Catalina in the Southeast Quadrant is getting a remodel! This week, a group of GDNA folks erected a roof to shade the stand at Kacey's and Matt's, the stewards of the Little Free Plant Stand.

Once upon a time, there was an information kiosk at the Martha Cooper Library. That kiosk, and our other two kiosks (located at Fairmount and Bryant and at Catalina and Linden), were originally built by Eagle Scouts. Unfortunately, the Martha Cooper kiosk was repeatedly vandalized so eventually, GDNA took it down, BUT we saved the roof.

Thanks to Kacey, Matt, Peter, Mary, Meg, and most especially Ryan Coykendall, the roof was erected in front of 1421 N. Catalina. Kacey and Matt have moved the stand under the shade and are finishing the facelift and dressing it up. Swing by and check it out sometime soon! It is on Catalina, just north of Fairmount.

At some point in the next few years, you will be cruising down the new, wider, & improved Grant Road, zipping by the intersection at Dodge (going the speed limit of course) and you will be shocked to see a gigantic, almost 20 foot tall RED COYOTE leap out at you, trying to escape both the pull of gravity and the huge steel bolts holding him down. 

We hope your heart will skip a tiny beat and you will be dazzled and delighted by our newest resident and the product of the public art directive specifying that 1% of eligible county capital improvement project funds be set aside for the commission, purchase and installation of artworks in a variety of settings.

The water retention basin that will be built through the RTA on the southeast corner of Grant and Dodge will house this brilliantly red canine, who will hover over our stretch of Grant Road. 

Joe O’Connell, president, founder, and Artistic director of Creative Machines, has designed and fabricated this beast who has been hibernating in his/her cave waiting to be sprung on us when sufficient progress has been made on the basin for installation. Canis latrans translates to "barking dog" and our coyote will speak volumes with its bright color and unexpected placement on Grant.

ABOUT THAT BIG RED COYOTE:

THIS JOYFUL, ENERGIZING

PIECE OF PUBLIC ART

NEEDS A NAME

Instead of calling it Big Red Coyote, a name must be chosen, and we hope you will take part in brainstorming his or her just-right name. The sculptor has asked for our help. He will take suggestions from the Grant/Alvernon neighborhoods, then he will choose his top five favorites. After that, the neighborhoods will have the opportunity to vote on the final name, so stay tuned.

Joe wrote to GDNA: The practical reason we chose a coyote was to be visible from Grant Road as you are driving by, but also to look good when you walk up close to it. The artistic reason is that we’ve been seeing more coyotes around town even in daytime. Coyotes fascinate us because they combine so many attributes: playful, vaguely threatening, light on their feet, clever. Having a large coyote along Grant Road feels like ‘rewilding’ and the lush flood retention basin where it will live will probably be home to other life forms as well.

Join in the anticipatory fun and put on your creative caps to propose a name for our new friend.

Submitted by Lisa Maher, GDNA Treasurer, who with Anna Marie Patti, GDNA President emeritus, represented Garden District on the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona for selecting public art for the RTA construction on Grant Rd.

Deadline to make your suggestion(s)

for a name for the coyote is May 15.

Learn how to build a Rain Garden

Saturday, May 11

8 am

Join Watershed Management Group and

families, staff, and students from Wright School.

Plant trees and plants on the east (Catalina) side of the playground.

Help shade the parent pick-up line and

mitigate the impact of idling vehicles

on the fresh air our kids breathe!

Adults and kids welcome!

Bring a shovel, water, hat, and be ready fro some fun in the sun.

The planning process for The Wright Elementary School rainwater harvest garden has begun. Brenda Encinas, school principal, has found the grant funds for the project and given us a good spot to work. We worked with the 5th graders at the school all day yesterday, with Joaquin and Luis from Watershed Management giving them the overview of water harvesting principles and how they can be used to beautify their school. 

Next Monday we will be working with the fifth graders again to help them create design concepts for the site, which Joaquin and Luis will use to do the actual design. After school Monday, I will meet with Nicci Madsen of Diamond Enterprises to blue stake the site, in preparation for their donation of the basin excavation. 

On Friday, May 10, after school, the Diamond Backhoe will scoop out the water harvesting basins and prep for the planting on Saturday, May 11.

On May 11, at 8 AM, volunteers will dig and plant. The whole neighborhood is invited, to work with the kids and help do the work. With enough people, we should be able to do the work in a few hours, before it gets hot.

You are all invited — bring hats, gloves, shovels and rakes, sunscreen and water. And be ready to Sweat!

This is one of those activities that brings the community to the front line of climate action and sustainability — and it’s what we should be working for, always.

I hope it will lead to the inspiration of future designers and ecologists, and perhaps future professionals in fields we may not have even dreamed of. 

Feel free to pass on this information.

See you there.

PIMA COUNTY, April 30, 2024 – Pima Animal Care Center is seeking short-term fosters for at least 130 dogs ahead of a two-weeklong construction project that will mean intense noise and hammering in the kennel area.

The project, funded by PACC’s nonprofit partner, Friends of PACC, involves installing noise-dampening panels throughout the indoor kennel area, which will help mute the regular chorus of barking dogs. That will be a relief once the panels are in place, said Monica Dangler, PACC’s director of animal services, but – in the meantime -- the daily construction will be noisy and stressful for animals.

“The construction noise is going to be pretty intense,” Dangler said. “And the construction itself may pose a safety issue for our staff and volunteers when handling stressed dogs. That’s why we really need to get dogs out of there until we get through this construction phase.”

PACC will be offering free crates and food to all fosters who take dogs that are 40 pounds or larger starting today through May 17. In addition, fosters taking in dogs for that time period will be eligible for a $5 a day stipend when fostering over that period, thanks to support from Friends of PACC.

Those interested in providing a foster or adoptive home for a dog in need should come to PACC during open hours. All dogs and puppies are currently free to adopt. A $20 licensing fee applies to adult dogs. PACC is located at 4000 N. Silverbell Road and is open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from noon to 7 p.m., on Wednesday from 1:30 – 7 p.m., and on weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. To see all available pets and services, please visit pima.gov/animalcare.

Those who can’t adopt or foster can always help by hanging on to any healthy, friendly lost or stray dogs.

Data shows the best way to reunite those dogs with their families is to make a report on PetcoLove Lost, which allows the owner or finder of a lost pet to upload the pet’s photo into the free-to-use PetcoLove Lost system.

The software will match the pet’s photograph with photos of lost or found pets from participating shelters and community members in the indicated area and provides a secure messaging center to connect without sharing personal information. The platform can be accessed at any time of the day, providing the potential for pets to be reunited within the community without any need to come to the shelter or take a pet to be scanned for a microchip.

The PetcoLove Lost software also gives pet owners access to pre-made flyers and allows them to easily post on social media about their lost and found pets to assist in sharing the word.

TRAIN TO HELP 'STOP THE BLEED' - Uncontrolled bleeding remains the leading cause of preventable, trauma-related deaths, posing a significant threat that can claim lives within minutes, often before professional responders can intervene. Similar to the importance of CPR or AED training, raising public awareness about methods to halt severe bleeding and ensuring widespread access to Bleeding Control Kits can greatly enhance the chance of survival for those injured. The public is invited to join the "Stop the Bleed" training session, organized by the City of Tucson's Community Safety Health & Wellness Program, in partnership with Integrated Community Solutions To Active Violence Events (ICSAVE).

This training is tailored to prepare community members to swiftly respond to emergencies, thereby reducing the severity of injuries and potentially saving lives. The training will be held Wednesday, May 8, from 9-11 a.m., at the El Pueblo Activity Center (Building 9), 101 W. Irvington Road. Learn more and register by following the link below. For more information, email Daniel.Reyes@tucsonaz.gov.

BECAUSE THE VOICES OF GARDEN DISTRICT

SHOULD BE HEARD!

BECAUSE YOUR OPINION

IS IMPORTANT!

Unless you subscribe to the many emails the city and county sends out, you may never come across some very important opportunities for you to make an impact on our city and county.



The surveys are included in our neighborhood newsletter so that the voices of Garden District residents can be heard outside our boundaries. Our subscribers need to be aware of these opportunities to voice their opinions on a vast assortment of issues - free bus fare, climate action, zoning changes, the general plan for the City of Tucson.

So when the City or County or anyone else offers us the chance to let our voices be heard, SHOUT! LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. Please take a few moments and fill out at least some of the surveys as they appear in newsletters. The information is used and helps drive decisions that impact YOU and your family's future in Tucson.  

Are you fed up with

Grant and Alvernon jokes?

Tired of friends shaking their heads in sympathy when you tell them you live

near Grant and Alvernon?

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!

This is your chance to voice to RTA and the City of Tucson how you would like to see the Grant Rd Corridor redeveloped.

Let them know what "Good Things" we want to Grow

at Grant + Alvernon.

There are four questions on the survey. Three of them are open-ended so a real opportunity to express your dreams and hopes for our Grant Rd Corridor:

• What do you see as the major opportunities along the Grant Road Corridor?
• What do you see as the major challenges along the Grant Road Corridor?
• What types of community assets would you like to see more of along the Grant Road Corridor?
• Is there anything else you would like to add to or change about the Grant Road Corridor?

CITY OF TUCSON LAUNCHES THE PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES, AND HOMES INVESTMENT PLAN SURVEY AND ANNOUNCES UPCOMING KICKOFF EVENTS
