2012 membership drive is on!

And we are counting on you — our neighbors, friends and the community that is the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association — to renew or initiate your membership in the association!

We are not a planned community and membership is not mandatory; however, by becoming a member, you show your commitment to what we know and love as our community — and it gives you a voice in shaping our community’s future.

Whether you volunteer for cleanups and plantings, to help with an event, voice an opinion, join us for a general meeting, sit on a committee or enjoy what Flamingo Park has to offer, your dues help keep the association going.

We look forward to your participation and to seeing you at future events.

The Flamingo Flyer comes out six times a year and always has a membership form on the back.  

According to the City of West Palm Beach Sanitation Department:

• use of the new bins is mandatory for your trash to be collected; no other trash cans will be collected after the new bins are delivered.  This means you must start using them this week.
• If you wish to to recycle your old trash can, please put it out EMPTY THIS WED. Sept. 29 at the curb.
• Trash must be bagged and placed inside the can – no trash may be placed on top of the cans or next to them. 
• It is suggested that you write your address on the inside of the can and on the bottom for proper ID since all trash cans will now look alike. 
• The collection container must be located a least five feet away from anything that would interfere with the trash truck picking up the receptacle and emptying it into the trash truck. 
• The bar of the can (not the handle) faces the street with the wheels facing the house. 
• Recycling bins should be placed on the opposite side of the driveway so as to not interfere with the collection process.
  
• Remember that construction materials and hazardous materials are never allowed in curbside trash. 
• If you require a different size bin, you may purchase it  yourself.  TOTER or OTTO are acceptable replacement brands (at Home Depot and Lowes).  A very limited number of smaller cans are available from the city for those with doctor-verified disabilities.
• Any questions should be directed to the City Sanitation Dept. at 822-2075.   A representative will also be at Tues. FPNA General Meeting at 6:30 p.m. at The Armory Art Center to answer any questions about the new bins.
