District 3 “Love Where You Live” Community Hot Spot Cleanup Scheduled for Nov 7

The City of Valdosta will host a “Love Where You Live” Community Hot Spot cleanup in District 3 on Saturday, November 7.  City staff and volunteers will be working from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. in the Neighborhoods between River Street and Hill Avenue from N. Oak Street to St. Augustine Road. Residents and volunteers will be working in the community to assist the neighborhood with this cleanup, by offering some of the additional resources the City has to emphasize the importance of keeping our neighborhoods clean and free of bulk trash.

Residents who live in the area are encouraged to start gathering bulk trash items to be placed by the road for pickup beginning Monday, November 2. Public Works crews will pick up bulk trash items throughout the week at no cost to the residents. Any items not picked up during the week can be disposed of during the clean-up event on Saturday.

City staff will have lawn equipment available on site for use by any residents in the cleanup area. Residents are encouraged to help their neighbors during the clean up as well.

Volunteers are needed for the clean-up event, if you or your organization would like to volunteer you can sign up using the online form.
