The City of Alhambra is inviting the community to come together for “Be Green, #KeepAlhambraClean”, an annual campaign encouraging residents, businesses, and visitors to take simple steps to reduce litter and take an active role in protecting the places we all share.
“Litter affects our environment, our quality of life, and even our local economy,” said Mayor Jeff Maloney. “This campaign is about empowering residents, businesses, and visitors alike to take pride in our community and work together to keep Alhambra beautiful.”
Throughout April, the City will host a series of sustainability-focused events designed to bringing the community together and celebrate environmental stewardship. Residents are encouraged to get involved, learn more about sustainable practices, and help spread the message.
Residents are encouraged to participate in the following ways:
- Properly dispose of trash, recycling, and compost;
- Report litter issues www.alhambraca.gov or the GoAlhambra mobile app;
- Reduce and reuse items;
- Start where you are and pick up litter when you see it;
- Share your efforts online using #KeepAlhambraClean.
