Published Oct 5, 2018

Escambia County collected and disposed of more than 32 tons (64,340 pounds) of debris during the Oct. 3 Crescent Lake Neighborhood Cleanup, as part of the county's ongoing effort to help keep local neighborhoods and communities clean and safe. The event allowed residents to leave items at the curb to be disposed of free of charge by the county and partnering agencies.

The Crescent Lake Neighborhood Cleanup saw great participation from residents, with about 34,380 pounds of yard waste, 24,540 pounds of bulk waste, 4,460 pounds of tires and 960 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 1,754 tons (3,509,220 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.
