When a community looks clean, safe and well cared for, it sends a message of unity to strangers and among neighbors. It can reduce crime, help children feel safe and secure, and improve neighborhood appeal and housing values.
Getting your neighbors together for cleanup day moves you and them beyond personal boundaries to work together for the betterment of what you share.
Here are some ideas we can all try:
- Ask a neighbor to get together to discuss a cleanup project on your street. Ask him/her to bring another neighbor. Now you have a team!
- Help a Neighbor pressure clean driveways and sidewalks
- Help a Neighbor rake the leaves, pot plants, mulch and remove weeds
- Help a Neighbor cut their lawn
- Involve neighborhood kids to help elderly neighbors with clean up
- Help clean mailboxes and mediums
Build community pride by cleaning up as a team!
