Christmas tree recycling continues through Jan. 15

Residents are reminded they can recycle their Christmas trees through Jan. 15.

The trees will be chipped and transformed into mulch that residents can get for free for their yards and gardens.

Trees may be dropped off at the Bravo Ball Field parking lot at the corner of Avenue B and Sixth Street.

They must be free of all ornaments, lights, tinsel and any other nonorganic material. According to Jill Craig, Boulder City environmental compliance coordinator, these types of objects contaminate the mulch and damage the chipper.

Flocked trees cannot be recycled.

The city hopes to recycle at least 300 trees this year.

Hoover Dam bridge sidewalks to close for safety inspections

Rolling closures for the sidewalks on the O’Callaghan-Tillman Memorial Bridge (Hoover Dam bridge) are scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily Tuesday through Jan. 16 for safety inspections by the Nevada Department of Transportation.

The routine inspections, completed biennially, will begin on the Arizona side of the bridge. When the Arizona side is closed, the Nevada portion of the sidewalk will remain open.

As the inspection moves to the Nevada side, the entire sidewalk will close.

The sidewalk will be open during off-project hours.

Additionally, lane restrictions will be in place for the duration of the project.

A trip to the workshop for the High Scalers, the robotics team at Boulder City High School in 2024 was much like a visit in 2023. Stuff used to make and practice with the robots built by the team everywhere, six or seven kids gathered there after school and a faculty advisor ensconced in the back of the room at a desk.

Breeding proposal breeds opposition
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

Judging by the number of people speaking out against it during public comment at the last city council meeting and the tone of numerous social media posts, the proposal to allow for licensed pet breeders to operate in Boulder City is itself breeding a growing opposition. And the opposition appears to be spilling over into other pet-centric issues, including the fact that, unlike anywhere else in Clark County, Boulder City does not require dogs to be on a leash in public.

What appears to be two very old pieces of gum can be found on the back of more than one seat.

In a meeting with only two council members present in the room (and the other three on the phone) and in which the major attention was divided between a contentious possible law concerning pets and the fact that the city manager had announced he was leaving for a new job on the East Coast, the council did take a series of other notable actions.
