Tuesday, April 9, 2013

Please join us on Saturday, April 20, 2013 - EARTH DAY - to help clean up:

        Construction debris behind our buildings on public property;
    Clean storm drains of vegetation and litter.

Adopt-a-Spot has provided us with tools, gloves, garbage and recycling bags, pitchforks, and a dumpster for the debris which the City will haul away.

The dumpster will be located on the median strip at the junction of Highway 24 and Caldecott Lane.  It will be delivered on Friday, April 19, 2013 and picked up on Monday, April 21, 2013.

Brown bags will be used to collect vegetation. Please don’t fill these bags to the top -- the bags will be too heavy to lift.  Sort out rocks, litter, and dirt and leave these items behind. 

Clear bags will be used for garbage only.

We will separately collect recyclables and provide them to a recycling center.

CLEAN-UP BEGINS AT 9:00 A.M. on Saturday, April 20, 2013.

Two locations:  1)  Behind 130 Caldecott Lane
                          2) Behind 142 Caldecott Lane

Sign-up Sheets:  You will need to sign the Adopt-a-Spot sign-up sheet and read the waiver before volunteering. Parents will need to read and sign a waiver pertaining to children.

We will furnish: Water, Gatorade, Snacks.  Tools.  Hand-Wipes.

What to Wear:  OLD clothes and layers.

Wood Debris:  Sort out wood carefully.  Watch for nails.  Nails will need to be hammered down before disposal to prevent injury.

If you are allergic to Poison Oak, remember “Leaves of Three, Let Them Be.”

First Aid Kits will be available.

The debris behind the public utility at 130 Caldecott Lane will be removed by Keep Oakland Beautiful.

                                THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING!
