Pueblo Alto participated in the City sponsored Earth Day Clean-up on Saturday morning, April 24th, 2021. With the help of our PALs (Pueblo Alto Liaisons), Hope Tran (PANA board member) and Tina Valentine (PANA Secretary) we had nearly 35 neighborhood volunteers out at 8am on a Saturday.
In just two hours our volunteers were able to pick-up and bag two very full truckloads of trash from our alleys plus one truckload of limb debris. Large items were identified and Solid Waste made two runs through the alleys to take them away. The weather was great, the event was well organized, and with our small, individual efforts we created a big impact!
The neighborhood would like to thank the volunteers that came out, PALs, Hope, Tina and the City for hosting the event. There will be another clean-up opportunity coming up in October, don't miss it.
Again, thank you to all that came out and made this event a success!
The 40 pumpkins (donated by McCall's Pumpkin Patch) were happily carved up.
