Published May 10, 2019

Escambia County collected and disposed of more than 44 tons (88,720 pounds) of debris during the East Barrancas and West Barrancas Neighborhood Cleanups in April and May, as part of the county's ongoing effort to help keep local neighborhoods and communities clean and safe. The events allowed residents to leave items at the curb to be disposed of free of charge by the county and partnering agencies.

The East Barrancas Neighborhood Cleanup on April 10 saw great participation from residents, with about 22,380 pounds of yard waste, 17,200 pounds of bulk waste, 130 tires and 2,600 pounds of household hazardous waste placed at curbside for pickup.

The West Barrancas Neighborhood Cleanup on May 8 also had great participation, with about 14,480 pounds of yard waste, 25,300 pounds of bulk waste, 70 tires and 2,360 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 1,929 tons (3,859,840 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.
