What about Yakima? From highway ditches that surround the city to alleys, side streets, and any place where trash can collect and pile up – it does!
What message are we sending?
Why? Where is our self esteem, where is our desire to preserve and be proud of our community, why do we seem to think someone else should clean up our mess? It really annoys me. Over time the work becomes so important that we need an army to clean it up … and luckily we have one.
Meeting vigilantes!
Another community cleanup is scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. this Saturday, September 18. City officials say that if you live in the area, you eat from 16th Avenue to 10th Avenue and south between Tieton Drive and Nob Hill Boulevard, you can be a part of the free cleanup.
Loretta Zammarchi, Head of Waste and Recycling, says: “Volunteers will be driving trucks around your neighborhood to help you properly dispose of garbage, brush or other bulky items… this is a great opportunity for residents to come together. “
Area residents can also bring items to the temporary disposal site located in blocks 1200 to 1500 of West Arlington Street, where large dumpsters will be available for clean-up day garbage.
Cleaning rules
Guidelines include – no commercial waste, construction or demolition debris or concrete. No hazardous waste will be accepted at the temporary disposal site and no
charges will be accepted after 12 noon on Saturday. The temporary disposal site on W. Arlington will be closed to traffic on the day of the cleanup.
The city hopes that volunteers will help make it all possible. To volunteer or organize a neighborhood cleanup team, call 576-6739 or visit Keep Yakima Clean’s Facebook or Instagram pages.
