Frequently Asked Questions

What is the BEST way to learn about the neighborhood?
Right here on our website! Membership fees go directly to private security patrol, beautifying our greenspaces and bringing us together socially (through cocktail parties, egg hunts, Halloween block parties, playgroups and more).

Members also receive a regular newsletter and additional “ news alerts ” as things happen in our hood - from crime, to utility emergencies/outages/updates. And when you go out of town, the security patrol will not only keep an extra close eye on your property, they will collect any packages too! Our neighborhood association is a great value, peace of mind and a wonderful way to connect in Castlewood.

When is garbage/recycling day?
Green (landfill waste) and Blue (recycled waste) bins decorate our streets on Thursday (Friday, for holiday weeks ). Yard trimmings (paper bag) collection is also generally every other Thursday.

Are there services available such as babysitting and pet-sitting/dog walking?

What about other city services?
