The Community Cleanup was a great success. We started out of the gates slow, but after we caught up, people were entering and exiting fast.

The metals story

We tried to organize a metals recycler for our event in advance, but due to schedule conflicts and restrictions we were not able to secure one — hence our advertising to reject metals this year. However, a "community volunteer" connected us to a vendor the day of, and we arranged a metals recycler last-minute. So if you came thinking you'd have to haul the fridge home, you didn't.

Who made it run

We had happy residents, volunteers, and vendors to make our cleanup one of the best so far. It was a pleasure to organize this valuable event.

On behalf of the Community Associations of Discovery Ridge, Signal Hill, and Springbank Hill — a hearty thank you to all the people who made this a success.

Cheers, Your organizers:

  • Behrokh — Springbank Hill
  • Rob — Signal Hill
  • Kiel — Discovery Ridge
