The new trash hauler for Laguna Woods and Laguna Woods Village, CR&R Inc. (CR&R), would like to share a letter with residents to provide an update regarding the recent transition in waste and recycling services—and address some of the challenges encountered during this period, including COVID-19 impacts, missed collections, service delays and long wait times to speak with its customer service staff.

Further, CR&R stated that it understands the desire for a successful organic recycling program and strongly believes that the coming weeks will provide relief as more CR&R staff recover and return to work. 

Click here to read the letter from CR&R.

Please Do Not Move Organic Recycling Bins

CR&R has recently received multiple complaints regarding residents putting green waste carts in their cars to move them to different locations. Please do not move organic waste recycling carts from their intended locations. Successful routing and collection of organic waste is based on the web map developed by the City of Laguna Woods and CR&R, and residents refer to that map in order to locate the organic cart closest to them.

Where to Find Organic Recycling Bins

To view organic recycling cart locations, visit cityoflagunawoods.org/LWVorganics to access an interactive map of organic cart locations or access a printable map.

اگر در مورد زباله، بازیافت و بازیافت مواد آلی سؤال، نگرانی یا درخواستی دارید، لطفاً به آدرس CR&R ایمیل بزنید. LagunaWoods-Recycles@CRRmail.com یا تماس بگیرید 949-625-6735.

راهنمایان تور روستا، داوطلبان آموزش‌دیده‌ای هستند که ارتباط حیاتی بین روستا و مخاطبانی که می‌خواهند تمام ویژگی‌های جامعه را کشف کنند، برقرار می‌کنند. GRF و VMS به دنبال داوطلبان مشتاقی هستند تا به فهرست راهنمایان اختصاصی ما بپیوندند که اولین برداشت‌های مهمانان از این جامعه شگفت‌انگیز را آگاه و تقویت کنند.

به عنوان بخشی از برنامه‌ی اطلاع‌رسانی جامعه، راهنمایان تور روستایی، تورهای سرگرم‌کننده و آموزنده‌ای را هدایت می‌کنند که از مرکز اجتماعی با استقبال گرم، یک ویدیوی کوتاه، بازدید از مرکز اجتماعی آغاز می‌شود و سپس با یک تور اتوبوسی (با اتوبوس روستایی) که در نقاط مورد علاقه‌ی منتخب توقف می‌کند، به پایان می‌رسد.

مربیان آینده در یک دوره آموزشی شرکت می‌کنند و مربیان باتجربه را در عمل مشاهده می‌کنند. در حال حاضر، مربیان داوطلب جدید می‌توانند انتظار داشته باشند که هر شش تا هشت هفته یک بار یک تور را هدایت کنند. 

اگر مایلید با افراد جدید آشنا شوید و به جامعه‌ای که دوست دارید خدمت کنید، همین امروز برای عضویت در تیم تور راهنمای روستا درخواست دهید!

GRF Broadband Services finalized the removal of analog television programming in 2018, but challenges remain for residents without a set-top box. Many with digital televisions plugged directly into the coaxial cable wall outlet may experience channels showing up at the wrong number and the need to rescan for missing channels. 

Residents with digital televisions might need to rescan their channels to get them to map to the correct channel number. Not all make and models are the same, so refer to your specific users guide for instructions. You can find instructions about how to do this for three of the leading television manufacturers here:

• Samsung TV
• Sony TV
• Vizio TV

However, the best solution available is to rent a set-top box for $13.25 per month, which will immediately provide the following benefits:

• Channels will map to the correct number
• No more rescans when changes are made
• Enjoy an interactive guide to replace Channel 3
• Use whole-number channels, not subchannels

For questions or information about renting a set-top-box, please contact Broadband Services at 949-837-2670 or visit lagunawoodsvillage.com/amenities/media-services/cable.
