Holiday Tree Collection
Waste Management and Valley Vista Services will once again be collecting and recycling all live holiday trees set out for collection. To take advantage of this free service, simply remove
the stand, ornaments, and decorations (including tinsel) and place your tree curbside or in your common bin location before 6 a.m. on your regularly scheduled collection day. Trees
longer than seven feet must be cut in half. Tree collection will start December 26 and continue for two weeks. Any questions may be directed to Waste Management at (800) 266-7551 or
Valley Vista Services at (800) 442-6454.
Holiday Extra Trash Collection
From gift wrap to disposable dinnerware and napkins, the holiday season tends to produce more trash than usual. If you are a Waste Management customer, you can take advantage of its
free end-of-the-year collection service to get rid of up to three large bags or boxes of excess regular trash.
This program is available for two weeks starting December 26 but must be scheduled in advance by calling (800) 266-7551 at least 24 hours before your regularly scheduled collection day.
Please note bulky items (single pieces of trash that are too large to fit in regular trash cart), products containing hazardous materials or items with electronic components do not qualify
to be picked up as part of this program. Collection of these kinds of waste must be scheduled separately by contacting the Waste Management.

From individual acts of service to collective efforts of nonprofits and other organizations, it is evident that there is no shortage of community spirit and involvement in Diamond Bar.
In what is an annual tradition, the City made time during the Winter Snow Fest event to recognize a handful of individuals and community groups for giving of their time and skills to
enrich the lives of others.

Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP)
Residents of the North Del Sol Lane neighborhood began an NTMP after reporting speeding concerns to Public Works staff. Staff partnered with engineers, public safety representatives
and neighborhood residents to design a traffic mitigation plan and subsequently a contract was awarded to CT&T Construction to install the improvements. On Thursday, December 22, construction
was completed on North Del Sol Lane and Highland Valley Road. Improvements included speed cushions, edgeline striping, centerline striping, pavement legends, and warning signs throughout
the neighborhood. Construction was completed on time and within budget.
