Safety
The RBHA has created a brochure promoting safety for pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, joggers, etc. specifically geared toward the City of Rehoboth Beach and its particular issues and regulations. The RBPD and the Delaware State Department of Highway Safety have both contributed to the effort and have given the safety brochure a "thumbs up". Ten thousand copies were printed and are currently being distributed citywide. Keep up with our efforts on a new safety webpage here...

The City's trash and recycling pick up schedules can be found at 2021 Residential Refuse & Yard Waste Pickup Calendar and the 2021 Residential Recycling Pickup Calendar (Hint: they are easier to read if printed "landscape"). View them by smartphone under the Calendar tab >> Trash & Recycling
