BBC is a peaceful family-friendly neighborhood, made up largely of 1,700 ranch-style and contemporary houses built within the past 50 years. A significant portion of its original tree canopy remains - something its residents have come to appreciate and cherish.
There are 5 meetings a year. They are held Sept, Nov, Jan, March & May on the 3rd Thursday.
Meetings are an opportunity for us to get to know our neighbors and to learn how to connect to city services.

We have a coordinator recruiting sign-ups for the BBC neighborhood. Every Food Donor receives a reusable green bag. Click Here
2. Shop a Little Extra
Each week when Food Donors go food shopping, they buy extra nonperishable items for hungry neighbors, take it home and store it in the bag.
3. Leave the Bag
Every two months—on the second Saturday of every even month—Food Donors put their green bags outside their front doors for volunteers to pick up. Volunteers deliver all collected food to our local food bank.

Recycling Ins and Outs
Recycling doesn't have to be confusing, here are some helpful tips on what is/isn’t recyclable in your blue cart.
Paper: Should be larger than a postcard and clean. Food soiled paper like paper plates and the bottoms of pizza boxes are not recyclable.
IN: Egg cartons, newspaper, cereal boxes and paper milk cartons are recyclable.
OUT: Frozen food packaging*, boxes that held beverage cans/bottles, paper cups and shredded paper are not recyclable.
*These are treated with chemicals so that they don't disintegrate when they become
wet. This “wet strength” prevents the material from pulping at the papermill with the
rest of the paper.
Metal: Should be larger than your fist, clean, and dry. Loose lids and scrap metal are not recyclable
curbside.
IN: Aluminum cans, clean food cans and empty aerosol cans are recyclable.
OUT: Lids and bottle caps, scrap metal and electronics are not recyclable curbside.
Plastic: Ignore the numbers! Recycle plastics based on size and shape. It should be clean, larger than your fist, and be in the shape of a bottle, jug, jar or tub.
IN: Don’t crush your plastic, it should maintain its basic shape when it goes into your cart.
For plastic lids or bottle caps: if it screws on, it stays on, if it pops off, it stays off.
OUT: Any plastic bags or film are not recyclable curbside and should be thrown away. The same
applies for any plastic that is not bottle, jug, tub or jar.
Glass: Glass should always be kept in a separate bin from the rest of your recycling. Set it out next to your blue recycle cart for collection.
IN: Food grade glass bottles and jars only.
OUT: Baking dishes, ceramics, lightbulbs and other glass cookware and items are not recyclable
