South St Elmo Cleanup, Saturday, May 19, 2018

A reminder about the cleanup this weekend:
    As many of you remember from the discussion at the May CAHSE meeting, several of us in the community are interested in cleaning up the area along Tennessee Avenue/Lee Avenue at the intersection of Lee Avenue and Burnt Mill Road.
    So, please remember we will work to clean up this area May 19.  We know the Ironman events are scheduled for this weekend, but we are interested in cleaning up the dumped materials and in discouraging any more dumping.
    So, May 19, 2018, from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM anyone interested in helping clean the area is invited to participate in the community cleanup.  It will take place as follows:
    We will clean the visible and easily removable trash, debris, etc., and the City will provide bags for the materials. The City's Public Works department will pick up the bags of refuse next week.  Please bring work gloves, sturdy footwear, and any tools you think will be useful.  Water, ice, and hand cleanser will be provided. 
    We will begin on West 55th Street (3rd house on the right from Tennessee Avenue going  up the hill) so please park along West 55th Street and reduce congestion on Tennessee Avenue.  Since the weather looks to be rainy, in the event of rain, we will conduct the clean-up on June 9.
    The goals are to: (1) remove the most easily removable trash and clean as much as we can in a couple of hours; and (2) discourage others who may be "inspired" by seeing the trash and debris to dump more.
