City News

With only about two weeks left in 2018, NewsNet this week will take a look back at some of the accomplishments and fun things that happened in the City of Tucson this year. Today, we have the first of a two-part special edition that focuses on some of the awards and recognition the City received in 2018 (with the original story date added), and that represents only a small portion of good news this year. We hope you enjoy these stories once again.

Tucson Water customer service staff will be available on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Telephone hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and lobby hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wait times may be longer, so customers are asked to be patient. When possible, use online options to manage accounts, service, and payments. Inquiries emailed to TWWebAcct1@tucsonaz.gov will be responded to as quickly as possible.

The City of Tucson once again is sponsoring the TreeCycle collection event. After you take down your cut Christmas tree and remove all the lights and ornaments, you can bring it to one of eight locations citywide for recycling.

TreeCycle runs from Dec. 26 through Jan. 14. Collection sites will be open during daylight hours unless noted otherwise. 

Beginning in 2019, single-family residential customers inside the city limits will no longer receive door hanger notifications for Brush and Bulky service from the City of Tucson's Environmental & General Services Department.

Visit the Brush and Bulky website to find collection dates and a map of Tucson’s 26 residential service areas. City crews collect from each area twice a year.

Sun Tran is partnering with iHeartMedia Tucson for the annual “Stuff-the-Bus” event tomorrow, Dec. 14, to benefit the Salvation Army’s Holiday Gift Distribution Program. Tucsonans are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys or clothing for children up to 12 years old, or you can donate cash to support the Salvation Army’s holiday outreach programs.
