2019 Fall Community Clean Up Day

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join your neighbors for Painesville's first clean up day on Saturday, October 12! 

Volunteer Opportunities (9:00 am - 12:00 pm)
Area coordinators will organize volunteers into groups to pick up litter, stencil storm drains, remove weeds or make any kind of community improvement! Trash bags & gloves will be provided. If you are interested in serving as a coordinator for your street, area or neighborhood or would like to volunteer, please contact Doug Lewis at 440-392-5903 / [email protected]

Fall Clean Your Home (ALL DAY)
Community pride starts at home: clean out the garage, spruce up the yard, paint the fence, clean the gutters, help your elderly neighbor, rake the leaves... the sky's the limit! Trash pick up will be on your regular pick up day, however the city will have extra dumpsters available.
