Sacramento Picks It Up - Mckinley Park Trash Dash
Plan to come out on Saturday, June 8th for our monthly Trash Dash. We will have members of Sacramento’s Professional Finishers Union District Council 16 helping us, and providing coffee and donuts at 9:00 am. Plan to come out and enjoy some breakfast before we all work to clean things up around McKinley Park. Mother Nature has a sunny day in store for us! This is a very family friendly event, and also a great opportunity for any local students to get community service credits.Our awesome Parks team will be out with the Tool Trailer so we can really get things done—such as pruning some of the landscape plants and cleaning up planting beds.Come out, meet some new friends and make our neighborhood shiny. Our group will be out there from 9 am until noon, meeting up by the duck pond. Bring work gloves if you have them, and stay hydrated!Look for our signs at the park! And for volunteers to check in, the city has gone paperless. Here is the link for the event:

River City Waterway Alliance - Robla Creek Cleanup 2.0
This Cleanup will be funded in part by a City of Sacramento Community Action Grant awarded by the Stormwater Quality Improvement Program. We would like to sincerely thank the City of Sacramento.RCWA will once again partner with Robla Park Community Association (RPCA) to remove trash and debris from Robla Creek, a small waterway that flows into Steelhead Creek.Please park along the street at the intersection of Claire Ave. & Sully St. and arrive early to sign in and enjoy donuts provided by the RPCA.We will provide bags, but please bring along your sturdy WATERPROOF footwear, grabbers, buckets, cultivators, shovels and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. We will concentrate both on dry land and the water channel to remove debris. There will be water in the creek, possibly fairly deep in a few spots. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water. Entry into any waters is always optional.As with all events shared on our Page, 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!Robla Park Community Association
