And we're off! Over the weekend we distributed our
new bear resistant roll carts to Government Hill residents and
collected the last of the regular roll carts today. We're excited
to have partnered with Government Hill on this pilot
program! To follow Solid Waste Services, click here!

I hope you and your friends and family are enjoying a
wonderful summer. Remember that summer means construction
season. From Ship
Creek's new garden filtration system, public restrooms, and a fish
cleaning station to park and trail upgrades and road repaving,
there is lots of work happening around town. For an interactive
map of construction projects in the Anchorage bowl, click
here. As always, respect the cone zone, and be extra cautious
around construction areas.
Things are happening downtown
In our efforts to make Town
Square Park more accessible for all, we recently removed the
broken fountain, which had become a sanctuary for bad
activities. ACDA
opened up "The Rooftop" last week, check out the
awesome activities (basketball, table tennis, yoga, chess) and
amazing views on top of the 5th avenue parking garage.
Have a problem or idea?
Do you have an idea on how to make Anchorage a better
place to live, or just want to report a broken streetlight or a
pothole in need of repair? #ANCWorks!
is live and allows you to make a report from your mobile phone,
tablet, or computer and provides online tracking capabilities so
you can follow-up and check in easily, any time you want. Check it
out and help
us serve you better.
However you are enjoying summer, please be safe and
have fun. See you on the trails (or maybe the rooftop?)!

Inappropriate disposal of
smoking materials is a common cause of building fires in
Anchorage. It is a common practice for smokers to put out their
cigarette in flower pots. Potting soil contains organic material
which can be ignited by smoldering cigarettes. Please remind
family and friends who smoke to dispose of cigarettes and other
smoking materials in an ashtray or water filled container.
