Neighborhood Clean-ups & Resource Fairs#

Neighborhood Event Table

Neighborhood Services hosts free neighborhood clean-up events and resource fairs across the city for a limited number of neighborhoods each year. Neighborhoods are chosen for these events based on community need, Nuisance Code violation trends, and available funding. 

Clean-Up events include information about different programs from our City department and community organization partners at the resource fair. The events also bring donation trucks, dumpsters, recycling bins, a food truck, and more based on the interests of the neighborhood. 

Click on the tabs below to learn about different parts of the event, including what is or isn't allowed for donation, what hard-to-recycle materials we can take, and more.
