Monthly Community Cleanup Scheduled for June

This program was implemented to focus on cleanup efforts throughout the City year-round and tackle large-scale litter issues in sections. “We wanted to try and focus more on the City neighborhoods and allow for more cleanup opportunities so that people can become interested and involved in the cleanup efforts of these residential areas. We hope to give residents more of an initiative to clean up and get rid of things they might have been putting off,” said Community Sustainability Coordinator Teresa Turner.

 

City staff will host the June monthly “Love Where You Live” Community Hot Spot cleanup in District 1 from June 21-25 in the Neighborhoods Along Dogwood Drive, Dogwood Circle, Dogwood Lane, Cason Street, and Lonesome Dove Road.

 

The week before the cleanup, staff will place flyers out to inform residents in the area about the event. The week of the cleanup, city crews will inspect the area to identify any repairs that need to be made such as potholes, clean signs, clear right of way, trim trees/bushes covering signs, street sweep and storm drain cleanouts as well as pick up trash and debris the residents put out by the road.

 

Beginning Monday, June 21, residents in the identified area can place bulk trash and debris by the road. Public Works crews will pick up bulk trash items throughout the week at no cost to the residents.

As the Community Sustainability Coordinator, City Leadership, Supervisors, and City Marshals move about the City daily, staff will provide feedback on areas needing attention. This information will be used to determine which areas in the community will be selected for a monthly clean-up event.
