Out with the old, in with the new - that’s plan for Goleta’s first community clean-up event of the year.
"Our residents love where they live and are very proud and appreciative of the nature we have in our backyard and have a desire to keep it clean, " explained Melissa Nelson, the City of Goleta’s Environmental Services Manager, of Saturday's Beautify Goleta event.
She says that it’s an opportunity for residents to drop their bulky waste items, free of charge, as well as community members picking up litter themselves.
"It's a clean an safe way for residents to bring in their bulky items that they no longer need for disposal and recycling and also a way to deter illegal dumping."
Beautify Goleta takes place Saturday January 14, from 9 in the morning, until 1 in the afternoon.
Bulky Item Collection will be located in the rear parking lot of Goleta City Hall (130 Cremona Drive) from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
