Boise Kind Day 2019

We know two things to be true: Boiseans are kind and they love their community. Boise Kind Day was a shining example of both! Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who came out on a beautiful Saturday morning to pick goatheads in the Boise Foothills, spruce up parks and community gardens, and prepare Zoo Boise's newest exhibit, the Gorongosa National Park exhibit, for its grand opening in a few weeks. Boise Kind Day was a success because of all of you! #BoiseKind

Composting Your Leaves

Start composting your leaves. Leaves are collected year-round in your compost carts so you can start setting them out as soon as they drop. Fill your carts first, then put any extra in paper leaf bags and set on your curb for collection day. We will collect up to 10 bags per week. http://cityofboise.org/curb-it
