We have large community garbage cans in the alley behind your home. Recycle bins should be placed in front of your home. Both are collected on Fridays. Bulk trash is collected from the alley on a quarterly basis.  We also promote an alley clean up as part of our safety interests in Block Watch.  A tidy alley tends is less inviting to

Historic Designation

Founded and developed by Dr. James Collier Norton, this planned community was opened to the public in 1927. Each home is distinct and represents architectural styles from the 1920s through the 1950s. Del Norte Place was listed on the Phoenix Historic Property Register in 1993. For more information on the responsibilities and what this means to you as a homeowner, please contact the City of Phoenix's Historic Preservation Office: www.phoenix.gov/pdd/historic-preservation.

Your Neighborhood Association

Our no fee-based group was formed in 1992 with the "mission to preserve and improve the physical, social and economic health of the Del Norte Neighborhood, and enhance the quality of life for all residents through community-based problem solving." While the organization is guided by elected officers and organizational bylaws, all are welcome to provide feedback and participate in committees, meetings. and events.
