Sylvan Highlands Neighborhood Cleanup

This is our fifth annual neighborhood cleanup in celebration of Earth Day. We assemble to pick up trash and debris in the major traffic areas of our neighborhood. We focus on the entrance to our neighborhood, as the Sylvan Interchange and work north and south, east and west, to cover bike and pedestrian pathways as well as the commercial areas. Groups of 10 are supervised by group leaders who clean in a particular area. 

This year, we intend to cover more areas south of our neighborhood, in conjunction with our neighbors in SWHRL. Additional areas of focus will include SW Hewitt and SW Scholl's Ferry Road. 

If we have enough volunteers, we will tackle some landscaping tasks and possibly graffiti removal on signs.
