No Butts About It, Cigarettes are Litter Do your part to help keep parks clean
Did you know that cigarette butts are the most frequently littered item? Cigarettes are not biodegradable, and the toxic material migrates into storm drains, along with food and pet waste containing harmful bacteria that should not be entering our watersheds.
So what can you do about it?
Don’t litter! Help remind friends, family members, neighbors not to throw cigarette butts and other trash on the ground, and to pick up dog poop.
See something? Say something. Call Keep Arizona Beautiful’s Litter Hotline when you see someone littering on/near the road. Just get a license plate number. Hotline: 1-877-3LITTER

The city of Glendale will soon offer discounts to certain groups of residents on parks and recreation fees beginning Jan. 1. The City Council recently approved the new discount program, which will be permanent for one, and a pilot program for the second group.
Veterans that are residents of Glendale will be eligible to receive a 25% discount on parks and recreation fees, such as ramada and other facility rentals, memberships and sports and activity registrations; however, it will not be applicable on the costs of any goods or products, such as concessions.
The second discount will be offered by the city on a pilot program. This discount is for low-to-moderate-income youth. For Glendale residents ages 17 and under, this discount will be given to children of those currently receiving government assistance.
