The Dallas Police Department says a major deterrent against crime is perimeter lights ... make them motion-activated to startle potential criminals away.

News For You
| Don’t Mess With Preston Highlands!
Trash and recycling is now being picked up once a week on Thursdays. Please don't put your trash cans out any earlier than Wednesday evening. After the trash has been collected, MOVE your cans back to your house or against garage. Often people leave trash and recycling cans in alleys or on sidewalks. On windy days, trash cans litter the alleys, which is not very nice for neighbors when they have to get out of their cars to move your trash can. In addition, for those who don’t have alleys, if you leave your cans out, you’re setting yourself up for a fine from the city. So please be kind AND smart … move those cans out of the way after they’ve been emptied! Bulky trash pickup is during the first full week of every month. This summer, items need to be on the curb NO EARLIER than the Thursday prior to Monday, July 7 and Monday, August 8.
