On October 3 Lake Worth Code Enforcement partnered
with the PBSO Street Team to conduct Operation Red Tag Wednesday
- S G Street Sweep. Staff identified an area in the south west
section of the City which has had higher than average crime rate
together with high nonconformance rates with code issues. To
combat these issues, City Code staff along with PBSO officers
performed a wide sweep of this area. The work carried out by code
enforcement officers can be dangerous and thankless but is vital
in not only keeping the City clean and nice looking but also in
protecting residents. Operation Red Tag Wednesday resulted in
code officers discovering 115 violations, towing 10 vehicles,
issuing 90 red tags for the removal of abandoned or unlicensed
vehicles and referring 8 horticultural cases to the Lake Worth
Chief Horticulturalist.
This would be considered an excellent result on
its own but the operation also led to the arrest of a gang member
with a felony warrant. While working alongside the code officers,
PBSO’s Street Team observed the gang member who took off on foot.
PBSO was able to catch the suspect and found the suspect carrying
a loaded firearm. Once they received a search warrant for
the suspect’s car parked nearby, they searched it and found 2 additional
firearms along with roughly $10,000 worth of marijuana. Of the
firearms, two of them turned out to be stolen, one during an
armed robbery.
Joint operations will continue between Lake Worth
staff and PBSO to improve areas of the City that need the help.
Many of the problems uncovered in this operation were due to the
abuses of landlords who fail to manage their property in a
professional manner and in doing so enrich themselves at the cost
of their tenant’s safety and the community. Lake Worth is saying
“no more!” and these operations are an essential part of the
ongoing effort to make Lake Worth the best version of
itself.”
Remember if you are having work done on your
property use a licensed and ensured tradesman and make sure they
go through the full permitting process with the City. If you are
performing work on your property yourself, check with the
building department to determine if you need a permit. Building
department staff are happy to help and are an excellent resource
to ensure work is done correctly and safely.

The SWA and the City of Lake Worth would like to thank
residents for doing such a wonderful job in handling the transition
from single stream (one container) to dual stream (two container)
recycling. Already the rate of contamination has dropped substantially
and most residents have done an excellent job with the new system.
A few residents have asked what to do with cardboard
boxes that do not fit in the yellow container. The Lake Worth refuse
team has requested that residents place boxes to be collected on the
curb between the two containers on recycling day and they will be
picked up.
To ensure effective recycling with the new bins please remember the
following guidelines:
The yellow bin is for cardboard, newspapers and
inserts, office and school paper, mail, magazines, dry food boxes,
paper bags, cardboard paper rolls, and pizza boxes.
The blue bin is for plastic
bottles and containers, cans for food and beverages, glass bottles
and jars, cartons for milk and juice, and drink boxes.
Items that do NOT go in either recycling bin include:
plastic bags, foam products, aluminum foil and pans, shredded paper,
plastic eating utensils and straws, paper plates, paper towels and
napkins, coat hangers, light bulbs, and needles.
The City of Lake Worth remains committed to
environmentally conscious living. An effective recycling program is
an important part of that commitment along with our progressive
projects such as our Municipal Solar Energy Field and Low Impact
LED lighting, as well as the City's continued work with the Southeast
National Marine Renewable Energy Center on capturing the energy of
the Gulf Stream current. The City looks forward to partnering with
the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County to provide a more
efficient and lower cost recycling program to all residents.
