Citizen Involvement

We, at the City of Avondale, prioritize your needs, values, and preferences in shaping the landscape of our vibrant city. As part of our ongoing efforts to cultivate a thriving commercial atmosphere, we are launching a Retail and Restaurant Survey - an initiative specifically designed to capture your thoughts on our restaurant and retail offerings.

In our pursuit to make Avondale the city of your dreams, we urge you to voice your preferences and provide your invaluable insights; you possess the power to mold the city's retail landscape to your liking. Your feedback plays a critical role in directing our strategic decisions aimed at invigorating local businesses and fostering robust economic development in Avondale. Let your voice be heard and join us in this exciting endeavor to shape our shared future!

What is compost?

Composting is a way to speed up the natural process of recycling organic matter, such as food scraps, into valuable natural fertilizers that can enrich soil and plants. In addition to improving soil health, composting has a variety of environmental benefits including conservation of natural resources, reduction of energy use, and diversion of waste from the landfill.
