The City of Hazelwood is hosting its 2nd annual “Recycle Day” on Saturday, June 2, in the St. Louis Mills parking lot near the Ice Zone.  Residents can get rid of their unwanted recyclable items by dropping them off at the event site between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.  This event is free; there are no drop-off charges.

Members of the Hazelwood Fire Department recently completed a course in the Roco Rescue Training program. This program is designed to give firefighters the tools and skills needed to manage a rescue from a high angle such as a commercial building rooftop or a confined space such as a holding tank or deep culvert.  This class not only provided a complete refresher for firefighters who had already taken the course, but also involved new recruits who had not yet received the training for certification.

Opening Day for the 2012 season at Hazelwood Skate/BMX Park in White Birch Park is set for Saturday, March 17, from noon to 5.  Everyone who comes out and uses the park that day will receive a free pass for use on another day.
