Hello! Here are the specifics for the Annual Community Clean 2025. This year it will be held on April 26th Saturday and April 27st Sunday, at McGowan Park (South end of 142nd Ave – by the pickle ball courts) from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am until all dumpsters are full, or 4:00 pm, which ever happens first. You must check in before dumping your items.
Rules are simple: Only one (1) load per lot will be allowed until 12:00 noon on Sunday. If the dumpsters are not yet full at that time, then any lot – on a first come basis – may bring another load until all dumpsters are filled.
Please check in with volunteers at the event prior to dumping your rubbish.
To check in you will need to know your lot number or your address as identification. Only community members may participate.
NO household garbage (food waste, etc.), yard waste, animal waste, tires, (See Note 1) car batteries, microwaves, TVs or any electrical appliances, computers, printers or fax machines, or paint cans (unless the cans are dried out), or any type of accelerants are allowed. Not large furniture such as couches, stuffed chairs, bed frames, etc. or mattresses.
To ensure proper disposal, rubbish will be checked prior to dumping. If you have any questions about what is allowed to be dumped, please check with the attendants before unloading.
There will be a separate trailer for Metal items (i.e. appliances, lawn mowers, etc.) check before putting in dumpsters. Lawn mowers must have the oil and gas REMOVED prior to leaving on trailer.
Please Note: You do not need to be current in your assessments to come to the Clean Up, and if you know a member who has rubbish, but is unable to bring it due to medical issues or lack of a vehicle, please call contact call Ed Nielsen (253)-884-2713 and prior to the clean-up so we can make pickup arrangements, if we have volunteers who will do this.
