THANK YOU TO ALL THE HARDWORKING VOLUNTEERS THAT GAVE A PART OF THEIR SATURDAY TO HELP WITH THE 2011 CLEANUP!
We look forward to our next cleanup in fall 2012. 

NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP 2011
Saturday, September 24
8:00 AM - 1:00 PM

North end of State Fairgrounds in the Camel Lot Enter from Larpenteur Avenue

Sponsored by the Hamline Midway Coalition (District 11), Como Community Council (District 10), St. Anthony Park Community Council (District 12), Union Park (District 13), and Falcon Heights

Neighborhood cleanups are one-day events that occur in the spring or fall in most Saint Paul neighborhoods. Cleanups allow Saint Paul residents to get rid of hard to dispose of items at a lower cost than what they would pay at a transfer station or other private business. Residents can only bring items to the cleanup in their own neighborhood.

Some helpful hints for the cleanup - "rules of the road"

• You will be asked for proof of St. Paul or Falcon Heights residency if you do not present the entrance voucher form with the mailing label intact.
• You must bring the entrance voucher form with you and have it filled out before you reach the entrance. Make checks payable to Como Community Council.
• The fees will be assessed, tallied and accepted by a person at the entrance gate.
• For the safety of all, please stay on established paths throughout the cleanup area and follow traffic directions.
• Volunteers will be on site to help you unload your vehicles. Do not walk inside any dumpsters or throw anything over the sides of dumpsters, unless the door is closed.
• Separate for recycling as much as you can. General refuse in St. Paul is either landfilled or burned for fuel!
