Citywide clean up event set for this Saturday

Staff Report October 1, 2015 Comments Off on Citywide clean up event set for this Saturday

It is that time of the year again when residents throughout El Paso will be rolling up their sleeves and showing off their civic pride by cleaning up neighborhoods as part of Pride Day.

Pride Day, the community’s largest annual cleanup event, will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 3, 2015.

There will be more than 30 designated cleanup sites throughout the community which makes it easy for anyone to participate. Many of the cleanup sites will have a large roll-off trash container set up, this allows for residents to easily dispose of large, bulky items and debris.

Items not accepted in roll-off containers include: tires, household hazardous waste (paint, motor oil, batteries, chemicals, etc.), and e-waste (cell phones, appliances, computers, etc.).

The Pride Day community cleanup event encourages El Pasoans to work together to create a cleaner, healthier and safer El Paso. The goal of this large-scale, community-wide effort is to build awareness regarding the detrimental effects of littering and illegal dumping on our environment, while creating a better quality of life in our city.
