  • Hyde Park neighbors pride themselves on maintaining a safe neighborhood by communicating with one another and encouraging a “front porch culture.” Still, like all Midtown neighborhoods, it is not without crime. The HPNA along with Central Patrol facilitate monthly crime meetings at the Central Patrol Division Station, 1200 Linwood Blvd. We understand that not everyone is comfortable going in to a police station, so you are also welcome to reach out to the crime chair or any Board member with concerns.

  • In Hyde Park, trash pick up is every Monday morning. All eligible households receive one collection of residential trash each week. If you have more than two bags, buy a tag for each additional bag. For more information regarding trash pick up, visit the trash collection page of the City website.

    Recycling is also picked up on Monday mornings. The recycling bins signal trucks to stop, however they also accept additional recyclables in cardboard boxes, paper bags, laundry baskets or rubber tubs. There is no limit on recycling.

    Note that glass cannot be recycled curbside. For a list of free Ripple Glass recycling bins, visit Ripple Glass’s website.
