Join us for our monthly restaurant crawl from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 25 in downtown Highland. The concept is simple: participating restaurants feature a special for $7 or less, so that visitors can “eat their way through downtown,” stopping at their usual haunts and discovering new favorites along the way. Several businesses will also be open late so diners can shop in between courses or while waiting for food. Click here for this month's specials.

Republic Services will schedule extra crews Tuesday, MAY 20 to collect trash and rubbish generated by spring cleaning.

Televisions, computers and electronics may be recycled at the Public Works Department, 8001 Kennedy Ave. QUESTIONS? Please call Highland Public Works at (219) 972-5083.
