Kenneth Road Halloween Litter: Resident Aims to Clean Up with Schools, Neighbors, City Support 2

From an email blast to Northwest Glendale residents:

My name is Cliff Claycomb and last year I was involved in getting all of us together to send a powerful message to the children AND adults in our community about the importance of putting trash in its place. The local principals made announcements during break times at school and sent our announcements via the automated phone system. Neighbors helped spread the word, and the City of Glendale was kind enough to put out trash cans on several corners up and down Kenneth Road; an area that is very popular for Halloween trick-or-treaters. IT ALL WORKED!! The amount of trash up and down the streets was reduced dramatically and I feel this got people thinking about littering. We topped it off by putting together a cleanup crew made up of members of our community and several folks from the City of Glendale to help clean up Kenneth Road the day after Halloween.

I know you are all very busy so I will get to it. WE WANT TO DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR!!

This year the City of Glendale agreed to distribute cardboard trash cans up and down Kenneth to those homeowners willing to put them out on Halloween night then pull that back on their property the day after Halloween and hold them until the city can pick them up. I have spoken to Principal Mason (Mark Keppel Elementary) and Principal Card (Toll Middle School) who agreed to help spread the word at their schools, and I myself and doing my best to pull in homeowners willing to help with the trash receptacles mentioned above and by spreading the word via e-mail and word of mouth. I am also trying to put together another cleanup crew for the day after Halloween.

I am writing to ask you 4 favors:


1) Can you help spread the message to all the children how important it is to put their Halloween trash back in their bags OR in a trash can and on NOT on the ground?


2) Please tell any/all interested in being a part of the day after cleanup crew to meet on the corner of Kenneth and Sonora at 3:30pm on 11/1.


3) Please e-mail me if you live on Kenneth Road and are willing to put out then pull in these cardboard trash cans being offered by the City of Glendale OR have anyone you know who lives on Kenneth Rd contact me if interested. I will provide your name and address to the City of Glendale and they will make sure you get a cardboard trash can the day of or before Halloween.

4) I have a limited number of e-mail addresses to help spread this message via e-mail so please forward this to as many members of the community you know…it really helps!

I appreciate your time. My number is below if you have any questions and please feel free to give out my e-mail address and telephone number to anyone who wants to discuss this with me.
