Neighborhood Based Cleanups

Neighborhood based clean up events are facilitated through the City’s Small Grants Program.  Neighborhood volunteers will be solely responsible for planning and implementing their clean up event.  Clean ups can be held anytime during the year, at a location agreed upon by the neighborhood.  Currently active neighborhood groups that are registered with the city can apply for up to $2,000 in grant funds annually to host clean up events to allow residents to dispose of bulk items such as old furniture or clothing.*  Regular household trash, tires, electronics, and hazardous materials are not allowed.  Small grant applications must clearly demonstrate enough volunteers to properly implement and monitor the event.

*Weekly trash service through a licensed commercial hauler is required for the disposal of regular household trash or waste per Municipal Code 15-16 (c). Electronics, tires and hazardous household waste should be disposed of properly.  Yard waste should be disposed of separately via the City’s Yard Waste Collection, or through use of the City’s Small Grants Program to host neighborhood based yard waste clean up events.
