Boynton Beach Mayor - City Hall Clean Up
This is an important message from the City of Boynton Beach.
Mayor Rodriguez Rolls Up His Sleeves for City Hall Spruce Up
Volunteers Are Needed To Help
Join Boynton Beach Mayor Jose Rodriguez as he rolls up his sleeves on Saturday, May 21, for the Mayor’s City Hall Spruce Up. The Mayor is seeking up to 50 volunteers by May 18 to help him paint the exterior of Boynton Beach’s City Hall. Paint rollers and trays, brushes, buckets and tarps are also needed.
The Mayor’s City Hall Spruce Up is a great way to come together with co-workers, family and friends while participating in a “feel-good” activity. It’s also a good opportunity for youth to learn the value and importance of volunteering, and what a difference it can make.
The event will start at 7:00 a.m. Volunteers are asked to commit to at least one two-hour shift and are advised to wear hats, sunscreen and arrive properly attired.
Those under 18 years of age must have their parent or legal guardian sign a Consent Form. Credit toward Community Service Hours is available with this activity.
Recycled paint for the project has been donated by the Solid Waste Authority. To register online for the City Hall Spruce Up, visit http://www.boynton-beach.org/community/city_hall_spruce_up.html
For additional information, contact: Wayne Segal, (561) 742-6025.

Palm Beach County Mulch Give Away
Palm Beach County is giving yard mulch away, fortified with a safe organic waste product from sewage treatment.
The free mulch will be available at the Lantana Transfer Station as part on an ongoing pilot program starting Friday. Anyone can visit the Lantana Transfer Station at 1810 Lantana Road and pick up free compost/mulch materials, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. You must hand-load your own material.
County officials say the compost is a mixture of yard waste mulch and "waste water residuals," aka the solid material left over after sewage treatment.
According to Pat Byers, director of utilities with the Solid Waste Authority, biosolids are "high in organic content and contain moderate amounts of nutrients that are needed by plants. These characteristics make biosolids valuable as a soil conditioner and fertilizer" for horticulture and agriculture purposes.
