Downtown Curbside Glass Recycling Ends
Glass collection at City's Recycling Drop-Off Center
Yesterday, the City ended curbside glass recycling in Downtown. Beginning Saturday, the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation will add glass to its list of items accepted at the City's Recycling Drop-Off Center (2829 Elysian Fields Ave.) on the second Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Register Your Security Camera with NOPD to Help Fight Crime
If you own a security camera in New Orleans, you can now register it with NOPD to help detectives solve crimes in your neighborhood and provide strong evidence to put offenders away.
The New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation, in partnership with the NOPD, launched a new online service called Safecam NOLA. The program allows residents and business owners to register their security cameras with New Orleans Police. The SafecamNOLA project is an expansion of "Safecam8," which was an on-line program that Downtown residents and business owners in the Eighth Police District have been using for years to register their cameras with Eighth District police. The 1,302 8th District cameras that are in that system are now included in the citywide SafecamNOLA system.
Please visit www.SafecamNOLA.com to enroll today.
