Neighborhood Cleanup This Saturday
From City Council liaison extraordinaire Amy Robins:
Hi folks! The Oregon Hill 5th District cleanup is THIS Saturday, June 16.
I drove a decent number of your alleys this morning and do not feel there is actually enough to warrant a truck. It appears (minus the storm delays) that the every two week bulk pick up program is working. Additional alley cleanups have been scheduled for the big August 1 move out to make sure your alley aren’t trashed. I know we all vwant to make sure we are using our tax dollars wisely.
This cleanup will be focused on street litter and graffiti removal off public property. We are happy to do private property but the property owner needs to provide the paint and sign this waiver:http://www.richmondgov.com/PublicWorks/forms/GraffitiRemoval.pdf
AND call me before Friday so I can add it to the TO DO LIST. 804-646-5724
