Illegal dumping is scarier than any zombie! A mattress left in an alley or on the side of the road costs local governments time and money to clean up. Bye Bye Mattress gives residents an easy alternative, with drop-off locations that send old mattresses to recycling instead of landfills. Happy Halloween! #MattressRecycling #IllegalDumping #ByeByeMattress #Sustainability #Halloween

🌊 King Tides are continuing to impact California’s coastline through Friday, with coastal flooding already reported across the state. As El Niño impacts continue, coastal communities should stay alert and prepare for changing conditions. ⚠️ Cal OES urges residents and visitors to: - Stay out of the water and away from dangerous surf. - Never drive around barricades or through flooded roads. - Avoid flooded areas and never enter water of unknown depth. - Monitor local advisories and take precautions to protect people and property. Stay informed and check the latest forecasts and warnings at weather.gov.
