ABOUT CITY CLEAN UP & COMMUNITY TAKE ACTION DAYS


CITY CLEAN UP DAYS take place twice a year in the spring & fall, and primarily include picking up litter in and around the city. Clean Up Days are sometimes combined with large item or hazardous waste drop off events.

COMMUNITY TAKE ACTION DAYS occur as needed, and offer even more opportunities to get involved, such as honeysuckle abatement, spreading mulch in city parks, hazardous household waste collection, etc.
