Myrtle Grove Southeast Neighborhood Cleanup Scheduled for Sept. 20

Published Sep 6, 2017

Residents in the Myrtle Grove area will have the opportunity to dispose of yard debris and other items free of charge Wednesday, Sept. 20 during the Myrtle Grove Southeast Neighborhood Cleanup in District 2. Only residents in the designated cleanup area are able to participate in the neighborhood cleanup. Items left at the curb outside of the cleanup area will not be collected. The general cleanup area is south of West Jackson Street, east of South 60th and 61st Avenue and west of North New Warrington Road. Please see the cleanup map for details.

The cleanup allows residents to leave items at the curb to be disposed of by Escambia County and partnering agencies, as part of the county's ongoing effort to help keep local neighborhoods and communities clean and safe.

All debris must be at the curb directly in front of your residence by 7 a.m. on the day of the cleanup. Please keep tires and paint cans separate from all other debris. Do not place piles under low-hanging lines or near poles, fences or mailboxes.

Items eligible for removal include:

  • Household appliances and electronics
  • Yard waste
  • Household junk and debris
  • Bicycles and toys
  • Old furniture and mattresses
  • Barbecue grills
  • Household hazardous waste (old paint, motor oil, chemicals, batteries)

  • Explosives or ammunition
  • Auto parts

  • Vehicles or vessels
  • 55-gallon drums of fluids 

The neighborhood cleanup initiative involves an aggressive clean-up effort, targeting different neighborhoods throughout the county, with crew members and volunteers picking up a variety of debris and waste, including electronics, furniture and household items. In the past two years, more than 1,360 tons (2,737,700 pounds) of debris were collected and disposed of through the Community Redevelopment Agency's Safe Neighborhood Program.

The county's neighborhood cleanup program is hosted by the Escambia County Community Redevelopment Agency's Safe Neighborhood Program. Local partners include Escambia County Waste Services, Environmental Code Enforcement, Public Works, Animal Services and Road Prison, along with the City of Pensacola Sanitation Department and Keep Pensacola Beautiful.
