CAN’T PUT A PRICE ON BEING PREPARED

Hurricane season is officially here! Do you know your evacuation zone? Have supplies? Do you live in a low lying area and need tips for flooding?

GOOD NEIGHBOR TIP: COURTEOUS DISPOSAL

Help us to keep St. Pete beautiful and avoid the $500 illegal dumping fee by always putting trash in the bin. To report illegal dumping, call the Police Tip line at 727-892-5000.

KEEP THE SUNSHINE CITY BRIGHT

Help the Sunshine City by not using fertilizer this summer! Every year, increased rainfall in the summer months can cause nutrients from fertilizer to reach bodies of water and lead to environmental issues and water quality problems. We can help our environment through this season in many ways, including partaking in the fertilizer ban from June 1 to September 30.
