Be Smart About Safety

The City of Muncie now offers a free new service to help emergency response. Residents are encouraged to sign up for Smart911 to give 9-1-1 and public safety valuable information about your household. This information will be available when you make a 9-1-1 call and will help officials respond to you during a disaster. Providing these details ahead of time can save valuable seconds or even minutes during an emergency. You can also opt-in to receive emergency notifications from your community in the event you need to be alerted about an emergency or disaster.

Seconds count when…

Trash Toters

The Muncie StarPress published an article in today’s paper that explained the city ordinance related to trash removal. In brief, city ordinance and sanitary district regulations require that residents place their toters outside by 7:00 am on their scheduled trash collection day and bring them back in by 7:00 pm the same day. Failure to do so may result in a warning notice from Muncie Sanitary District code enforcement officers. These regulations are in place not only for aesthetic reasons, but to protect the public from possible traffic accidents if the toters are knocked into the street.
