City of Tacoma Accepting 2016 Community Cleanup Applications

Applications are being accepted for the 2016 Community Cleanup program. Tacoma residents may submit an application for their neighborhood to have a spring cleanup date.

“The program is a great opportunity for residents to save a trip to the landfill,” said Lisa Wojtanowicz, Neighborhood and Community Services Division Manager. “Yet, we also want to find out from the people who are using the program how we can improve it to better meet the needs of residents.”

The program offers each neighborhood area the opportunity to participate in a cleanup day. The City provides dumpsters for residential customers who live in single-family homes or duplexes on their neighborhood’s day to spruce up their properties and save a trip to the Tacoma Recovery & Transfer Center.

Residents whose homes are located in the city of Tacoma limits can apply for their neighborhood by going to cityoftacoma.org/communitycleanup to print the 2016 application form. The application this year includes a brief survey about what services residents would like to see added.

Completed forms need to be returned by Feb. 26, 2016 to Community Based Services Community Cleanup (747 Market St., Room 108, Tacoma, WA 98402). Applications also can be faxed to (253) 573-2585 or scanned and emailed to cdegrosse@cityoftacoma.org.

For more information contact Neighborhood and Community Services at (253) 591-5026 or cdegrosse@cityoftacoma.org.
