This week on North Port Now, we’re getting into the spirit of the season! 🎃 Get all the details on the City’s annual Trick or Treat at City Center, happening Thursday, Oct. 24, featuring family fun, festive displays, and a special low-sensory experience for those who prefer a quieter celebration.

We’ll also highlight opportunities to honor our local heroes—from recognizing everyday residents through the Citizen Hero program to paying tribute to those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces through the upcoming Circle of Honor at City Center.

Plus, Solid Waste Manager Frank Lama joins us to talk about the upcoming Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event, what residents can bring, and how to safely dispose of materials that shouldn’t go in the trash.

And don’t miss our On the Job video series, where City Manager Jerome Fletcher steps into the shoes of City employees to learn what it takes to keep North Port running—one job at a time.
