Trashy Tuesday
Help us keep the Highland Park neighborhood clean, safe, and looking great for pets, pedestrians and neighbors.
Spend a few minutes of each 1st and 3rd TRASHY TUESDAY, April 21st through September 15th, stepping outside to do light cleanup and enjoy the fresh air.
Pick up any litter in front of your own home, along your block, or further out in the neighborhood - whatever you have time for. No set start or end time - whatever works with your schedule.
*Walk a dog? Easy - bring along a bigger bag for wrappers, cans or other discarded items you encounter along the way.
*Stir crazy kids? Teach them the value of making a difference.
*New to Highland Park? Wave or say hello - this a friendly place!
*Care about property values? Keeping our neighborhood in great shape counts.
Bring your own equipment (bags, gloves, picker sticks, etc.) and please respect neighbors' properties by sticking to sidewalks and parkways (the area between the sidewalk and the curb). Use caution crossing or approaching streets.
Thanks in advance for helping HPNA to make Highland Park a great place to live.
