WOW!
OPNA is getting a reputation of sorts at the Solid Waste Department - it seems we are one of the
most active neighborhoods in participating in clean-up days and the Mayor's Keep Albuquerque
Beautiful program. And on the latest clean-up day, we loaded a record 16,000 pounds of stuff
in a roll-off trailer and a rear-packer truck. That's eight full tons (my poor arms and shoulders
can attest to that number!) that isn't lying around looking ugly in our neighborhood any longer.
The city this year sent us a crew to run the rear-packer, and this picture shows four of them. Many
thanks to Adrian, Anthony, Nicholas, Jose, and Lucas - they have my vote for the best crew in town,
and they are great ambassadors for the City. They even gave mini-tours of their big truck to any
kids who asked, and let them blow the air horn!
And your Board thanks all who brought their trash, and especially the families who worked so hard
cleaning up the landscape strip along Osuna Street north of the school - Great job, neighbors!

More of our Neighbors are supporting OPNA with their dues - we are almost 150 members now, a record! Your dues help keep this web site up, publish our newsletters to all and email announcements to members who have email, provide refreshments and door prizes at the meetings, and pay for the announcement signs at the major intersections before events. We thank you for your support, and we hope we are providing the service you need. Please contact Opie at the email link on this web page to ask a question, offer advice and support, or provide an alert.
The City's Solid Waste Division has placed a complete recycling drop-off center in the parking lot of First Family Church, 4701 Wyoming NE. This is on the west side of Wyoming, just opposite OPNA terrritory. It will accommodate everything that curbside recycling trucks ordinarily pick up, including glass. Let's use it!
