The Brownsville/Englewood Neighborhood Cleanup saw great participation from residents, with about 38,660 pounds of yard waste, 44,780 pounds of bulk waste, 4,620 pounds of tires and 860 pounds of household hazardous waste placed at curbside for pickup.
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. Since 2016, more than 1,693 tons (3,386,920 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 Keep Pensacola Beautiful and the City of Pensacola Sanitation Department.
