For Immediate Release
Join Redwood City’s Pride and Beautification Committee for the ANNUAL FALL CLEANUP DAY / COASTAL CLEANUP DAY
Redwood City, CA - September 2, 2008 – The community is invited to join the Redwood City Pride and Beautification Committee for the fun, family-friendly annual Fall Cleanup Day/Coastal Cleanup Day, on Saturday September 20th, 2008! This year, the cleanup will focus on sprucing up Redwood Creek, Cordilleras Creek, Woodside Road, Fair Oaks Community Center area, the Port, the Historic Union Cemetery, and other sites.
Community members are invited to show their pride in Redwood City! Participants can meet at 8:30 am on Saturday September 20th at the City’s Public Works Services building, located at 1400 Broadway (near Woodside Road). After a complimentary continental breakfast, clean-up teams will move out and descend on this year’s targeted areas. Then at noon, volunteers will meet for a special free lunch as a ‘thank you’ for participating in this annual fun project that helps the entire community.
On the same day, Norcal Waste Systems will sponsor the Great Compost Giveaway at the Public Works Services parking lot. Compost is an excellent addition to existing soil, and also makes a great groundcover to help with weed and erosion control. From 9 am Saturday, September 20th until 3 pm Sunday, September 21st, residents of Redwood City can take up to one cubic yard of free compost – a limited supply will be shared among our community’s neighbors on a first-come, first-served basis.
Redwood City thanks the generous sponsors of the Annual Fall Cleanup Day – San Mateo Credit Union, Allied Waste Services, Norcal Waste Systems of San Mateo County, Green Zebra, and SIMS Group. More information is available by calling 650-780-7300.
Twice a year, Redwood City’s Pride and Beautification Committee holds these special volunteer cleanup days to focus efforts on beautifying specific sites or areas, and to promote a year-round pride in Redwood City. In past years, Redwood City’s Fall and Spring Cleanups have targeted school sites, the waterfront, parks, streets, and other areas. These cleanup days have shown great success, bringing together volunteers from all walks of life who share the pride of helping to keep Redwood City clean and attractive.
