Neighborhood Clean-up on May 16th, 2009

South End-Eastside Neighborhood Alliance, of which Park Avenue Neighborhood is a part of, will be hosting a neighborhood cleanup on May 16th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The South End-Eastside Neighborhood Alliance, is the area from Sheridan Avenue to Yakima Avenue between I-5 and 43rd and from Sheridan Street to East ‘F’ Street between 43rd and 64th streets. Homeowners or renters in single-family or duplex homes living in this area are encouraged to toss the junk and beautify their property as part of the collaborative neighborhood cleaning.

Volunteers and staff from the City will be accepting items for disposal at Lincoln High School, Mann Elementary School and Fawcett Elementary School. All that is required to dump items is a proof of residence such as a driver’s license or current utility bill.

Items that can not be dumped include: material from a business; cars, motorcycles, campers or boat parts; truck canopies, trailers, boats or RV vehicles; daily household garbage; liquids, paints and other oil-based products; hazardous waste; riding mowers; and animal carcasses.

Volunteers are needed! If you are interested in volunteering, contact Allyson Griffith at agriffith@cityoftacoma.org or call (253) 591-5119. For more information about the neighborhood or the cleanup, visit www.cityoftacoma.org/cbs.
