Spring will be here before we know it, so it’s time to start thinking about sprucing up your home! Thanks to generous funding from the Metro voucher program and the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, the Cully Association of Neighbors will be holding its annual Earth Day Clean-Up on Saturday, April 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 5520 NE Killingsworth Street. The cleanup is an excellent opportunity to get rid of clutter, dispose of bulky waste and pick up something you want at a great price.
Organizations like Total Reclaim, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Community Appliances and Northeast Emergency Food Program will be on hand to take donations of household items, clothing and non-perishable food. Be sure to stop by the popular neighborhood yard sale where you can name your price on an array of unique donated treasures.
One of the main goals of the cleanup is to keep as many reusable and recyclable materials as possible out of the landfill at very affordable disposal costs. Please keep in mind that this event is for residential vehicles only; no commercial vehicles will be permitted.
The Cully Cleanup is a great way to make a big impact in your community this Earth Day. If you would like to sign up for a three-hour shift or have questions, please contact Jessica at 541-510-4761 or cullycleanup@gmail.com. You can also sign up to volunteer online at http://goo.gl/forms/Pb5PPkkscV. Volunteers will be provided with lunch and be allowed to dump one carload for free!
