Elk Grove Anti-Trash Volunteers - Sheldon Road Glowup!
We all know that street trash and often times trash in landscape could end up in our drainage and waterways. Once in a while, we tackle a roadway and its landscaping to make sure Elk Grove looks tidy and trash does not make it into the storm water system.
This is one of those street cleanups that will take us along Sheldon Road hopefully both sides of 99.
Meet on the far side of the Carl’s Jr. parking lot closest to the Chevron station. We will definitely talk about our strategy and we’ll fan out from there.
Safety vests , or bright colored tops are required for this cleanup.Elk Grove is worth the work!
New to cleanups? Please arrive early to get signed in and get gear. If you have supplies, please bring your own gloves, buckets, bags, but we have items for you. Buckets, gloves, grabbers, vests, bags.
Please wear appropriate clothing, boots
or closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, hats, and bring your own water.
All cleanups are done at your own risk, but safety first! Our trash safety talk starts promptly at 9:00 am.
See you soon!!
Let’s Clean Elk Grove together!
River City Waterway Alliance - Arcade Creek Cleanup at Norwood (19.0)
Our apologies, but this will be an 18 and Over Event due to numerous active encampments in the area.We will continue to remove piles of trash in this stretch of Arcade Creek. This event will be conducted in coordination with the folks at Forensiclean who have graciously agreed to haul off all of the trash and encampment debris collected from this area!Sturdy, waterproof boots, long sleeves and long pants are recommended. Folks desiring to enter the creek will need waterproof boots, hip or chest waders. This will be an easy to difficult level event with uneven terrain. RCWA will provide bags, but please bring along your grabbers, buckets, cultivators, rakes, shovels and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available.As with all events shared on RCWA, participation is performed solely at your own risk. Please place safety FIRST and do only what you feel comfortable doing. Moreover, participants will be required to sign a Release and Waiver form if they have not done so previously.Overall, be safe, have fun and get some “Exercise with a Purpose” as Bill Templin says.Thank you!River City Waterway Alliance
