“On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen!” And I bet you know the rest. Santa’s Sleigh is once more making its way through Culver City this December to put kids and adults alike in the holiday spirit.

For Culver Crest, Thursday, December 14th from 5pm to 9pm is that magic time.

Residential streets in the area bounded by Overland Avenue as the West border, Culver Crest as the East border, Northgate Avenue as the North border, and South Drive as the South border will be visited. And yes, Santa will be making occasional stops.

Should you happen to miss Santa’s sojourn through our streets, you can always visit the Sleigh in front of City Hall, where it becomes stationary as of December 21st.

With that in mind, Culver City Police Department Lieutenant Troy Dunlap has written up some handy tips to help everyone on the Crest make sure your home doesn’t become the scene of a holiday heist. Take a look at the PDF below for these helpful tips.

Hazardous Waste Roundup June 24, 2017

The annual Hazardous Waste Roundup is happening again on June 24, 2017, 9am-3pm, in the parking lot in front of the Wende Museum in Culver City.

If you haven’t attended one of these before, it’s awesome to have one of these in Culver City.  But it’s also a bit surreal: from the paddle tennis court parking lot entrance by Elenda St. you enter the hazmat corridor that’s set up between there and the end of the Wende Museum.  You’re surrounded by folks in hazmat suits and asked to not leave your vehicle.  You pop open your trunk, thinking that they’ll somehow pluck E.T. from the depths of your spare tire.  Instead each station grabs the appropriate items, e.g. paints, batteries, e-waste, etc.  and then at the end you fill out a survey.  5 minutes later you’re out of there thinking about what else you could have brought with you from your garage!

The flyer has all the details for your next trip.
