Spring Clean Up Day this Saturday

March 23, 2009 – Pflugerville, TX – The City of Pflugerville and Keep Pflugerville Beautiful, in cooperation with LCRA, are pleased to announce their upcoming Spring Clean Up Day.  The event will be held next Saturday, March 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  The site is located on Railroad Avenue, across the street from Brookhollow Elementary School.

Residents of the City of Pflugerville are invited to participate in this opportunity to clean up their community and dispose of unwanted household waste.  Furniture, appliances (including refrigerators and A/C units), trash, brush, automobile tires, lead-acid batteries, televisions, computers, used motor oil, fencing, latex paint and other household items will be accepted free of charge. Citizens are responsible for bringing such items to the Clean Up Day site during the event's scheduled hours.  Commercial and industrial waste, containers over five gallons, explosives, medical waste, chemicals, petroleum-based paints and pesticides/herbicides will not be accepted.

Clean Up Day is more than just a clean up event; it serves as a means for the City to educate citizens of the ongoing problems of pollution and illegal dumping, and encourages volunteer participation and environmental stewardship.  Clean Up Day is a wonderful opportunity for community groups, businesses and students in need of community service hours to lend a hand to their community.

Clean Up Day is sponsored by the City of Pflugerville, Keep Pflugerville Beautiful, LCRA, TCEQ and IESI. For more information on the event, visit the City website: www.cityofpflugerville.com.
