2026 Newsletters

February 2026

 

This is our first (short) communication this year with two items for your attention. 

​

1) GREAT news: the popular free Saturday drop-offs of green waste at our local Ben Lomond Transfer Station (aka the dump) are back, thanks to our 5th district supervisor Monica Martinez. Here is an excerpt from her announcement of the resumption of the program:

"Beginning on March 28, residents of the unincorporated areas of District 5 are invited to dispose of yard trimmings and other green waste at no cost at the Ben Lomond Transfer Station. The program will run on the last Saturday of each month from March to June from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Just show up - No need to make an appointment! Not sure if you live in an unincorporated area of District 5? See below for more information.

For details on load limits, green waste size and material restrictions, check out the program website and the FAQs (English or Spanish). "

​

The dates for your calendar are March 28th, April 25th, May 30th and June 27th

​

2) A Community Conversation with PG&E - District 5 Town Hall: 

Hosted by Monica Martinez, the event is this coming Monday, March 2nd, from 6pm-7:30pm at the Boulder Creek Rec Center.

See the announcement web site for more details.

 

Now that spring is around the corner (today sure feels like it), we will restart our regular monthly newsletters next month and will make sure to inform you about our plans for the year, including our neighborhood clean-up day and educational event later this year.
