Want to Help Keep Our Community Clean?
Oro Loma Sanitary District supports volunteers interested in picking up litter in the community (such as food wrappers, plastic and glass bottles, disposable cups, grocery bags, cigarette butts, beverage cans) . To make cleanup safer and easier, the District will provide litter pickup kits that contain pickers, bags, and gloves.
Litter Pickup Kit Program Details
- Complete the request form at least two weeks in advance of the organized cleanup. The District will make arrangements for collection of the full litter bags.
- The cleanup must occur on a specific date; the date is required when completing the request form.
