Summary Each Spring, the City of Alachua participates in Keep Alachua County Beautiful - Great American Cleanup. Our participation involves coordinating voluntary trash pickup in parts of our City, special projects to cleanup and beautify our City, and a City-wide tire roundup. The Public Services Department coordinates with our residential, solid waste contractor, Waste Pro, Inc. and local volunteers to accomplish the cleanup. This year’s event is scheduled for May 6th, 2017.
The event is a great opportunity for community volunteers to demonstrate their civic spirit by turning out to help cleanup Alachua. The City is challenging our local schools, volunteer civic organizations and City staff to turn out and support this worthwhile cause.
This year’s program begins at 9:00 am at City Hall with breakfast provided by Canvas Church and the City of Alachua. Trash bags, safety vests, gloves, maps and instructions for the cleanup will be provided. The event will conclude at noon. This year's beautification activities include the clean-up and beautification of area neighborhood parks.
The Tire Roundup Event is scheduled on Friday, May 5th and Saturday, May 6th, 2017. It will be staged at the Alachua Wastewater Treatment Facility, located at 13700 NW 126th Terrace, south of CR 2054 (Rachael Boulevard). | | |
