May 16 Richmond Cleanup: Save the Date / Volunteers Needed

[Allen Field, RNA Cleanup Coordinator]

The Richmond Spring Cleanup will be Saturday, May 16, 9am - 1pm, at Central Christian Church, 1844 SE Cesar Chavez Blvd - always the Saturday after Mother's Day.  This is a FREE event.  

Drive in with a carload of stuff.  We will collect bulky waste (no demolition/construction/remodeling material), metal and electronics for recycling, we offer a pickup service for Seniors 70 & over and people with disabilities, and we have a huge U-Price-It Plant and Rummage Sale where people can drop off or buy reusable household items.  Details at richmondpdx.org/richmondcleanup and on the attached flyer.

PLEASE NOTE:

• NO Styrofoam recycling.  Take your clean styrofoam to Green Century Recycling. Dirty styrofoam will be tossed in bulky waste.
• NO box trucks or rental trucks, vans, trailers.  They are too large and pose a safety risk.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:  This event requires over 70 volunteers.  Please let me know if you can help on one or more of the three shifts:  8:30-11:30 am  /  11-2  /  1-3.   Morning snacks and pizza lunch provided.  Volunteers get items free from the Plant and Rummage.  Must be 15 or over and those 18 and under need a parent to sign the waiver form.

Two-person pickup truck crews are needed to pick up items from seniors and disabled individuals. We pay $20/hr/person to these crews. 

Please contact richmon...@gmail.com to volunteer or if you have questions.

Allen Field,

Richmond Cleanup Coordinator
