Hello Great Indy Cleanup Coordinators -

 

I just wanted to let you know about an opportunity to get rid of tires with no fee.

 

The SECO neighborhood (Southeast Community Organization) will be a site for the Marion County Health Department's Tire Amnesty Day on Saturday, June 9th from 9am until 4pm.  Any amount of tires can be dropped off at no charge at their facility:  1925 Fletcher Avenue.

 

Thanks for all you do!

Fw: Sunday Work Day along Pleasant Run

On Sunday, May 6, from 2-5 p.m., there will be a volunteer work day to remove the invasive garlic mustard that is taking over Pleasant Run Trail.  No gardening tools, herbicides, or expertise needed, just a pair of gloves and desire to learn a bit about invasive species.  We will meet at the pedestrian bridge on the trail just south of the intersection of Poplar and Pleasant Run Parkway North.  If you have any questions, just give me a call at 317-408-0980.

Re: Clean up results.

Thanks, Dan, and to everyone who helped.  Amazing what can be found along the banks of the creek!!

    Way to go Pleasanton and our friends at the Emerson Ave. Baptist Church!!!!!!

Last Saturday, despite the wet and cold weather a good handful of neighbors and friends cleaned up the Pleasant Run Parkway Greenway and the Kin Hubbard Memorial Park. We started at 8am and stopped a little after noon. We compiled approx. 50 bags of trash, and a number of other oddities that have plagued our Greenway for a long time. What a great accomplishment it was to see the participation from the neighborhood and our friends at the EABC. Great job!

So with that said I would like to encourage anyone who might walk in the neighborhood to bring a small bag with you, and if you see some trash or litter pick it up. A little bit helps. If you walk your dog(s) then you should have one bag with you, so why not bring two.

Also, to give everyone a heads up on the KIB Adopt-A-Block program. Norway, Maple, and the 300-350 block of Polplar has AAB Coordinators. We still need the remaining portion of Poplar, Michigan, Emerson, and the Parkway. Mainly they look for trash or litter. KIB will give out flowers and trees for blocks that keep their block clean of litter. If interested visit the Keep Indianapolis Beautiful website and sign up. You will recieve a street clean up kit.

If anyone has suggestions or comments let's share them.

Again, a big thank you to everyone who helped and gave their time and effort in keeping the neighborhood a cleaner place to live.

Dan
