Did you know? There is a dumpster in the CAM yard off of Ridgeview near the pickleball courts where SaddleBrooke Outreach recycles aluminum pop cans and Tucson Iron and Metals comes to SaddleBrooke with a new dumpster when it is full. The proceeds support SaddleBrooke Outreach’s programs supporting the kids in the Copper Corridor.
