Neighborhood clean-up for Community Development
What is the neighborhood clean-up?
The neighborhood clean-up was first piloted in 2019 in response to community members wanting to transform their neighborhoods. Since its inception, this collaborative effort has expanded to more neighborhoods promoting solid waste disposal through engagement and awareness of community members who are also actively involved in the clean-up. The result is a safer, healthier Mesa County that promotes a sense of pride and community.

- Crews will move quickly and will not be able to return to an area once they have already been through it. All items must be out by 7:00 am on the first day of the clean-up.
- Piles should be located on the street, in the gutter, in front of your house. Do not put trash piles on your property or in the alley.
- To avoid property damage, place items at least 3 feet away from buildings, fences, mailboxes, etc.– Crews are not responsible for damage to these structures.
- Do not set debris on private property such as driveways or lawns. Heavy equipment is not responsible for damage and trash may be left if it cannot be safely removed.
- Keep piles separate from your household trash containers or other items you do not want removed. Al trash cans, totes, boxes, etc. will be removed with the trash.
- Do not put out hazardous waste or e-waste of any kind. See the Additional Information tab below for disposal options for these materials.
