Keep Newnan Beautiful wants to hear your voice! The city is currently reviewing existing recycling services and would appreciate your input. This is an opportunity for you to provide us with your thoughts and comments.
We currently offer small bins to customers for curbside recycling. Are you taking advantage of it? Would you like to see changes? One option would be to go to a larger, rollout container for recycling. Would that be easier for you and if so, how do you feel about less frequent pickup?
How about yard debris? Do you know the city has an ordinance that requires you to bag all of your yard debris? What are you doing with yours? If bags or a rollout container for yard debris were provided to you would you use them?
What are your thoughts on a drop-off recycling center for residents?
This is the time to make your feelings known. Please go to www.keepnewnanbeautiful.org and click on “Survey” to complete a brief survey. For more information please contact Carol Duffey at 770-253-8283 or email cduffey@cityofnewnan.org .

The city of Newnan Animal Warden, Cyndi Hoffman along with the ASPCA offer summer tips for pet owners.
The last days of May signal the unofficial start of summer for folks, young and old, across the country. But with these carefree months of no homework and summer Fridays comes an increased risk for illness or injury for our furry pals.
From unpredictable weather to unusual routines, our animals are exposed to all sorts of hazards during June, July and August, and your pet is counting on you to keep him safe. Check out our top six tips for keeping your animal secure all summer long.
• Give your pet access to plenty of fresh water at all times. Even the healthiest pets can suffer from dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn if overexposed to the heat.
• Avoid slathering your pet with any insect repellent or sunscreen not intended for the four-legged kind.
• Keep your pet away from matches, citronella candles and lighter fluid, which if eaten can irritate the stomach, lungs and central nervous system.
• Be cool near the pool. Don’t leave pets unsupervised around a pool, lake or high waters — not all dogs are expert swimmers!
• Never leave your dog, cat or any other animal friend alone in a car! The inside of a car can heat up very quickly — even with a window open.
• Be prepared! From tornadoes to floods, we’ve seen the devastation severe weather has brought to pets and their families these past few weeks. Develop an evacuation plan well ahead of time in case you’re forced from your home in an emergency.
