Volunteers Needed for Citizen Patrol Program
Meyerland is seeking volunteers to launch a Citizen
Patrol program. This HPD program is a means for citizens to
organize as groups and patrol the neighborhood. They act as another
set of eyes and ears for law enforcement officers. The Citizens on
Patrol program provide an effective method of discouraging
neighborhood crime, promte a friendly and safter neighborhood
environment, and improve communication among neighbors.
The time commitment for being a volunteer is a few hours per month. Volunteers must be 18 years or older, have a Texas driver's license, pass a background check, and go through training with the Houston Police department.
If you are interested, please contact Meyerland resident Jerry Goldman at jerryg112@aol.com. Read more about the Citizen Patrol program on the City of Houston's web site at http://www.houstontx.gov/police/vip/vip_citzpatrol.htm.
New Automated Recycling Pilot Program
Meyerland has been selected to participate in the City of
Houston's Automated Recycling Pilot Program. 2,284 of our 2,310
homes in Meyerland will receive new 96-gallon waste bins from the
City of Houston.
The pilot area is in the boundary of Beechnut to 610, 610 to West Bellfort, Willowbend to Chimney Rock and Chimney Rock to Beechnut. The old recycle bins were picked up this week. The new bins should arrive in time for the next recycle day. If you are not inside of this boundary area, you are not a part of the pilot program, but will be included in the roll-out.
These bins are intended to hold all recyclable items listed on the lid of the can - which includes glass. The first collection with these 96-gallon green carts will be Tuesday, March 17th (B schedule).
