Save the Date for The Dalles Annual Spring Community Clean Up May 6th
by The City of The Dalles
The 35th Annual Spring Community Clean Up will take place the first Saturday of May. The Dalles residents are encouraged to join in the annual spring cleaning event on Saturday, May 6, 2023 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Yard debris and large items, such as furniture, may be disposed of at the County yard at the corner of West 10 th Street and Walnut Street only on this date and time.
This year the City is again asking citizens to make a special effort to prevent unsightly damage to street trees that have low hanging branches. Trimming branches before collision breaks branches is healthier for trees. Tree trimming also prevents damage to tall vehicles like garbage trucks and school buses. On Community Clean Up day, up to two standard sized pickup loads per household of tree trimmings can be disposed of for free.
Citizens are encouraged to separate usable goods from trash. Gently used items may be donated to the on-site Reuse Fair. Event participants may pick up “new” treasures from the Reuse Fair area at no cost.
Friends and neighbors are encouraged to help the elderly or handicapped dispose of unwanted items. Civic groups are encouraged to adopt an area of town for cleanup.
Volunteers are welcome! Please call Cindy Keever at (541) 506-2004 to learn about many task assignments available.
