A Month Ago We Hosted A Clean Up

A month ago we hosted a clean up that brought out more than twenty four volunteers. Here are the very delayed pictures. Litter Free Long Beach also helped by bringing in a large crusher so we could empty the alleyways. 

My neighbors, who have said they didn't feel comfortable doing a clean up, all came out and helped clean up the alley behind the U-Haul Station. In all, we moved more than nine tons of trash, we filled the dumpster in about two hours and Litter Free Long Beach got a lot of old electronics out of our way, the stuff the dumpster couldn't take.

Since April we hosted more than fifty five clean ups. We submitted more than 800 Go Long Beach Requests. We helped over six neighborhood associations. We had more than 62 safety updates and participated in the Anaheim Re visioning Study. 

This year we're focusing on more community building, bringing better leadership to the Sixth District and  and shining an intense light on community safety by bringing Safe Passage to more neighborhood schools.

The trees have also been trimmed in virtually the entire neighborhood including MacArthur Park itself.  Updates will come to this site every day from this point on.  

Neighborhood Expansion returns tomorrow.
