#SafetyTip: Waste trucks are heavy equipment and carry really heavy loads. This means they don’t maneuver or stop as agilely as a passenger vehicle. Drive with care around collection trucks working in your neighborhood or driving along the highway. Give them plenty of space and never stop suddenly in front of one.

This weekend we all jumped forward an hour and lost a bit of our precious sleep yesterday morning as Daylight Savings began. However, we can celebrate brighter evenings now! ☀️

You know another thing we can celebrate during this time? "Straylight Savings!" Bernalillo County Animal Care and Resource Center would like to remind you that Daylight Savings time is a great time to check your pet's microchip registration and make sure all of their tag information is up to date.

This helps so much in helping reuniting animals with their families, especially as at some point 1 in 3 pets will become lost or separated from their owners.

Remember to #checkthechip!
