SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Public Works and the Parks & Recreation Department successfully completed the 2025 Community Cleanup Day and Bulk Item Pickup Week, collecting over 300 cubic yards of bulky waste items from across the community. This annual service provides residents with a convenient, no-cost opportunity to dispose of large household items that are not accepted through regular curbside trash collection.
Crews utilized City equipment to collect and haul away items such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances. The high participation rate reflects strong community support and highlights the importance of maintaining this program in the future.
The effort contributes directly to community cleanliness, environmental stewardship, and quality of life in Valdez.
