Chatsworth Kiwanis Street Cleanup Update

[Zachariah Boren]

On 10.30.2011, the Chatsworth Kiwanis continued our Adopt-A-Street project. On Chatsworth St. between Mason and De Soto in the city of Chatsworth, CA. Together we packed 60 bags of trash !! Big thanks to Cruz Construction for the use of their weed eater and blower !!

Chatsworth Kiwanis are part of a worldwide organization of volunteers dedicated in providing positive change to one community, one child at a time. We meet at Los Toros Mexican Restaurant located at 21743 Devonshire St. on Tuesday at 7:00 pm. Take this opportunity to fellowship and network and see where you an affect positive change in your community.

Council member Greig Smith (Council District 12) and the Bureau of Street Services established a government community partnership which allows neighborhood groups, businesses, and residents to participate in a street cleaning and beautification pilot project.

This program is available to volunteers who want to participate by providing labor, donating materials, and/or sponsoring the Bureau of Street Services to perform the additional clean up work.

This Program can be accomplished through an agreement with the City to keep the sidewalks and landscaped areas clean. To help fulfill this obligation, the Department of Public Works will provide brooms, rakes, shovels, trash bags, gloves, safety vests and trash pick-up.

What can you do?
- Pick up litter
- Remove weeds
- Rake leaves
- Remove graffiti
- Report any street hazards
- Irrigate landscaped areas
