La Mesa Aims To Keep City Litter-Free This Saturday

LA MESA, CA – La Mesa residents are invited to join a neighborhood cleanup over 1.5 miles from 8 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 8. Participants should meet at La Mesa City Hall Parking Lot at 8130 Allison Avenue before 9 a.m.

Keeping the streets clean is what Litter Free La Mesa is all about. They are hosting the event and plan to cover 1.5 miles of the city, providing bins for collected refuse.

"The cleanup is focused on La Mesa Downtown Village and Neighborhood as part of our new Litter Free La Mesa Series," an event spokesperson wrote. "We will divert litter from traveling to the Pacific Ocean." It's all a celebration of Earth Month, in coordinated efforts with I Love A Clean San Diego and the City of La Mesa.

"Our staff will be set up with a check-in table at the La Mesa City Hall parking lot. Join us at 9 a.m. for a talk about our watersheds and recycling right, then grab supplies and high visibility vests to help us safely clean up around La Mesa Downtown Village and Neighborhood."

Participants will sort and dispose of collected litter, and after the cleanup, all are eligible to receive community service verification in your Community Hub dashboard.

Watch for more cleanup events in La Mesa as part of our new Litter Free La Mesa Series.

This event requires a signed release-of-liability waiver for all volunteers, and anyone under 18 needs a waiver signed by a guardian. For more information, visit cleansd.org.
