Halloween is just around the corner and here are some tips to help you and your kids have a safer Halloween party or Trick-or-Treating experience.
- Keep candles and jack-o-lanterns away from curtains, decorations, and other combustibles.
- Never leave candles unattended.
- Make sure indoor or outdoor lights have been tested for safety by a recognized testing laboratory. Check wiring and extension cords for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections.
- Don’t overload extension cords or electrical sockets.
- Keep candles and jack-o-lanterns away from front porches & walkways to avoid being knocked over.
- Look for “Flame Resistant” labels on costumes.
- Make sure masks do not hamper the visibility of the wearer.
- Choose costumes made with bright colors to make them visible to motorists.
- Give Trick-or-Treaters flashlights to help them see better at night.
- Costumes should be well fitting to prevent tripping or falling.
- Children should use crosswalks and not run into the street from between parked cars.
- Parents or other responsible adults should accompany children.
- Parents should closely examine the treats collected by the children to ensure that they are safe to eat.
Have a safe & fun Halloween!
In an effort to lead the city toward more green alternatives and sustainability, the California City of Pleasanton will now accept used and unwanted batteries for recycling. Residents can drop off batteries in collection boxes located at any one of 5 locations located throughout the city.
Each site is equipped with a battery recycling station with three color-coded containers. Each station has posted instructions and the appropriate supplies to collect the following types of batteries:
- Alkaline batteries
- Carbon zinc (heavy duty) batteries
- Rechargeable batteries
- Disposable lithium batteries
Battery recycling has been mandated in California since February 2006 to stem the chemical leaching of used batteries into the water supply and landfills. Most AA, AAA, C, D, 9-Volt, and Button batteries contain heavy metals including lead, cadmium, nickel, mercury, and other toxic materials that can cause disorders to the human reproductive system, as well as kidney, liver, and neurological disorders/dysfunction.
City staff will be responsible for the weekly collection of the containers from the stations, and transferring them to the Alameda County Household Waste site in Livermore, California.
The designated drop off sites in Pleasanton are:
- City of Pleasanton Operations Service Center, 3333 Busch Road
- Pleasanton City Hall Lobby, 200 Old Bernal Road
- Pleasanton Senior Center, 5353 Sunol Blvd
- Pleasanton Public Library, 400 Old Bernal Road
- Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Station No. 2, 6300 Stoneridge Mall Road
For more information, contact the Support Services Division of the City of Pleasanton at (925) 931-5580.
